Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups baby spinach
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (for thickening, optional)
Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
2. Add chicken and sear lightly on both sides (no need to cook through).
3. Transfer to the crockpot with sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours, until chicken is tender.
5. Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the pot.
6. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
7. Add spinach and cook another 10 minutes, until wilted.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for sautéing.
Add cooked pasta or gnocchi for a heartier meal.
Substitute half-and-half for a lighter version.
Leftovers reheat beautifully — just warm gently to avoid curdling.
