Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Chicken broth
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large chicken breasts (6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 cup Spinach (chopped, packed)
Instructions
Heat the tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 6 cloves of minced garlic and saute for about a minute.
Add the cup of cream and 1/3 cup chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then set heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes. The sauce will be thin enough to coat the back of a spoon on the thin side.
Place the chicken at the bottom of your crockpot—season with one tablespoon Italian seasoning, a pinch of sea salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Top with 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes.
When the sauce is ready, turn the heat down to low.
Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup at a time, until smooth.
Pour the sauce as evenly as possible over the chicken.
Cook for 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on low.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set it aside.
Turn the slow cooker on High, add the two cups chopped spinach and stir for a few minutes until the spinach wilts.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker, spoon the liquid, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes on top, or pour them over the chicken when you are ready to serve.
