Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Tender and juicy, perfect for absorbing flavors.
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes Adds a sweet tartness; opt for the ones in oil for more flavor.
3 cloves fresh garlic Enhances depth, but feel free to use garlic powder in a pinch.
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth Keeps the chicken moist; vegetable broth works as a substitute.
1 cup heavy cream For a luxurious sauce; swap with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
2 cups fresh spinach Introduces a vibrant color and serves as a nutrient boost.
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning Adjust according to your taste preference.
Salt and pepper, to taste Elevates all flavors.

Method

Preparation

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Top with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Cooking

Pour the chicken broth over the top, ensuring the chicken is submerged slightly.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
Once cooked, stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach.
Allow the spinach to wilt before serving, about 5 minutes.
Dish it out warm, over a bed of rice, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce.

Notes

Herb Upgrades: Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley before serving for brightness. Heat It Up: Toss in some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas and use vegetable broth. In summer, add fresh zucchini or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
