Description

This Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken is a perfect blend of flavors with tender chicken thighs, creamy sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes, making it an ideal option for a quick dinner or a comforting meal at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes around the chicken, then pour in the chicken broth.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  4. Mix the cream and cornstarch in a bowl, then stir it and the parmesan into the slow cooker once the chicken is done cooking.
  5. Add the spinach gradually, letting it wilt for 5 to 10 minutes under the lid.
  6. Serve over pasta, rice, or orzo, and spoon the sauce over the top.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in spices the night before.
This dish pairs well with garlic bread or a side salad.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature for best results.
