Let me paint you a picture: it’s 5:15 pm, you’re exhausted, the kids are hungry, and you still have no clue what’s for dinner. That used to be my daily chaos—until I started making meals like this Crockpot Tuscan Chicken.

It’s rich and creamy, bursting with garlicky sun-dried tomato flavor, and feels like something you'd order at a fancy restaurant... except it takes just 10 minutes to throw in the slow cooker. No babysitting, no last-minute scrambling. Just melt-in-your-mouth chicken that practically makes itself.

The best part? My whole family licks their plates clean—yes, even my picky eater who “doesn’t like anything with sauce.” Go figure.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 3 cups fresh spinach

• 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Layer the base: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.

2. Add flavor: Top with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Pour and cook: Add the chicken broth, then cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours.

4. Creamy finish: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream, Parmesan, and fresh spinach. If you'd like a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and stir it in now.

5. Serve: Let everything simmer together until the spinach wilts and the sauce is dreamy. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or cauliflower rice.

Sarah’s Tips & Swaps:

• Don’t skip the sun-dried tomatoes — they add deep, rich flavor that makes this dish so comforting.

• Dairy-free? Use coconut cream and skip the Parmesan (or use a dairy-free cheese alternative).

• Need it low carb? Serve over zoodles, riced cauliflower, or roasted veggies.

• Want more veggies? Add mushrooms, chopped kale, or artichoke hearts during the last hour of cooking.

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Tuscan Chicken is like a hug in a bowl. It’s simple enough for a Tuesday but delicious enough for a Sunday dinner. The slow cooker does all the work, and you get all the credit. That’s my kind of cooking.
