Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Layer or mix the chicken pieces with olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper in the slow cooker. You want the chicken to have a bit of color and flavor from the oil as it cooks.
  • Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken. The garlic will perfume the dish as it cooks, while the sun-dried tomatoes bring a warm tang.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and cream. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top and stir gently to distribute the flavors without splashing the creamy sauce all over the kitchen.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The exact time depends on your slow cooker.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese and baby spinach. The spinach will wilt quickly, and the cheese will thicken the sauce into a luscious coating.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you like a thicker sauce, you can cook uncovered on high for an additional 15–20 minutes, or whisk in a little cornstarch slurry if needed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with warm crusty bread, over pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
