Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
- 0.75 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Cooking instructions
- Drain and thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes. Mince the garlic. Place the chicken in a ความ 6-quart slow cooker and season both sides with the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the tomatoes, garlic, and chicken broth. (about 10 min)
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. (about 210 min) — LOW
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Stir the heavy cream into the cooking liquid, then add the spinach and Parmesan. Cover and cook on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once, until the spinach wilts and the sauce is smooth. (about 15 min) — HIGH
- Return the chicken to the slow cooker and spoon the sauce over it. Rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot. (about 5 min)
