Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
5 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs to taste
Instructions
Place chicken breasts into the base of a four to six-quart slow cooker.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Distribute minced garlic evenly over the chicken.
Cook on the low setting for 5 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour heavy cream over the chicken and stir in the parmesan cheese.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach to the slow cooker.
Stir gently for 3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens.
Notes
Always grate your own parmesan cheese from a block to ensure it melts into a smooth sauce without the interference of anti-caking additives found in pre-shredded bags. Keep the lid closed during the cooking process to maintain a consistent temperature and moisture level.
