Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken: A Creamy, Comforting Classic Made Simple

  • 1 ½ pounds, chicken thighs
  • 3 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 20 seconds, being careful not to brown the garlic. Then add the chicken stock and heavy cream, simmering for about 8 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue simmering for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker insert and sprinkle the basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper over the top.
  • Arrange the sliced sun-dried tomatoes on top of the chicken, then pour the prepared sauce over everything. Cook for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low in the slow cooker.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside. Stir in the baby spinach into the sauce in the slow cooker until wilted.
  • Serve the chicken Florentine with the sauce poured over the top. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
