Tuscan Chicken Crockpot Recipe
This flavorful and creamy Crockpot Tuscan Chicken is a breeze to prepare, taking just 10 minutes to assemble. You can use various chicken cuts, but I prefer boneless, skinless chicken thighs for their rich taste. Below, you’ll find the full list of ingredients with exact measurements in the recipe card.
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Homemade Italian Seasoning or store-bought
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped
Season the Chicken:
- Generously coat the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coverage on both sides.
Prepare the Crockpot:
- Lightly grease the inside of the crockpot with non-stick spray. Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the pot.
Make the Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Assemble:
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
Cook:
- Set the crockpot to cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours. The chicken should be tender and infused with flavor when done.
Add Spinach:
- About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped spinach. Cover and allow the spinach to wilt in the residual heat.
Serve:
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve over pasta or your favorite side, and enjoy!
Here are a few tips for making this super simple and yummy dish.
- Heavy Cream Substitutes: I love using heavy cream because it makes the sauce rich and flavorful. If you want to keep this recipe dairy-free, you could use coconut milk from a can. It would change the flavor of the dish, but it would be delicious!
- Low or High Heat: You can cook this on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours. Cooking on low for longer will give you more tender and juicy crockpot chicken.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, simply add a cornstarch/water mixture to help thicken it. Use one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with one tablespoon of cold water for each cup of sauce you are wanting to thicken. Add the cornstarch mixture to the crockpot 10 minutes before serving and allow it to cook until thickening.
