Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained, and chopped)
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Lightly sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the crockpot, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs into the crockpot, ensuring they are submerged in the creamy mixture.
- Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken.
- Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Add Spinach: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach leaves and let them wilt into the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the creamy Tuscan chicken over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or steamed broccoli for a complete keto meal.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes at the end.
- Sun-dried tomatoes can be swapped for fresh cherry tomatoes for a lighter flavor.
