This Crockpot Tuscan Chicken is popping off on Pinterest and when you try it, you’ll get why. Juicy chicken + garlicky cream sauce + sundried tomatoes + spinach = flavor bomb. The best part? It takes 10 mins to throw together, and your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting while you pretend you’re adulting.
Serves: 4
Total Time: 10 min prep, 3 hrs cook time
What You’ll Need:
Chicken Vibes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Creamy Sauce Goals
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream if you’re dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (aka thick sauce magic)
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced (yes, use fresh!)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (real stuff hits different)
- 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh, not frozen please)
Optional flex: parsley on top if you wanna be fancy.
How to Make It:
- Toss the chicken in the slow cooker. Done.
- Mix seasonings (salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, pepper) and sprinkle that spice blend all over your chicken.
- Whip up the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream, cornstarch, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add in sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan. Stir it up.
- Pour that creamy dream over the chicken in the Crockpot.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours. Set a timer, take a nap, live your life.
- Spinach time: Stir in the chopped spinach during the last 10-15 mins so it gets all wilted and cute.
- Serve it up: Slap it on pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or just eat it straight from the pot (no judgment).
Tips & Switch-Ups:
- Chicken thighs instead of breasts? Yup, 2 lbs works great.
- No cream? Sub half-and-half, but sauce won’t be as thick. Bump up the cornstarch if needed.
- No sundried tomatoes? Try roasted red peppers. No spinach? Kale’s cool too.
- Add artichokes if you’re feelin’ fancy.
Leftovers + Reheating:
- Store in fridge 3 to 4 days (airtight container, duh)
- Freeze up to 3 months (label it so you don’t forget what it is)
- Reheat gently so the sauce doesn’t split. Microwaves be wild sometimes.
