Crockpot creamy Tuscan garlic chicken 🍗
Servings: 4
Calories: 542
Fat: 35g
Protein: 45g
Total Carbs: 9g Net Carbs: 8g
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 / 170g each)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for about a minute, until fragrant.

- Meanwhile, place the chicken at the bottom of a slow cooker. Season lightly with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Top with sun-dried tomatoes.

- Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
- Once ready, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set it aside.
- Turn the slow cooker on high. Add the chopped spinach and stir for a few minutes with the remaining sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker, until the spinach wilts.
- Return the chicken to the slow cooker, and spoon the liquid, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes on top, or just pour them over the chicken to serve.
