Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot and drizzle with olive oil.
  • In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese until smooth.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach until wilted.
  • Shred the chicken with two forks or serve whole, spooning the sauce over the top.
  • Serve hot over cooked pasta, brown rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.

Notes

Tips and Variations:
  • Tip: For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir into the crockpot 15 minutes before serving.
  • Variation: Swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for extra juiciness; adjust cooking time to 7 hours on low.
  • Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked but not overdone.
  • Variation: Add 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms with the spinach for an earthy flavor boost.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months; reheat gently to avoid separating the sauce.
