Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
3. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, onion, and Parmesan.
4. Place seared chicken in the slow cooker. Top with cherry tomatoes and spinach.
5. Pour the cream mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
7. Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired. Serve hot over your favorite starch.
Notes
For extra richness, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the sauce while it simmers in the slow cooker.
Don’t skip searing the chicken—it adds flavor and helps keep it juicy.
If reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently to maintain the creamy texture.
