Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4–6 hours
Total Time: About 6 hours
Servings: 4–6

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 jar (about 15 ounces) creamy Tuscan-style sauce or creamy garlic herb sauce
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Extra Parmesan cheese

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
    Lightly grease the slow cooker or use a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
  2. Add the Chicken
    Place the chicken thighs in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Add the Flavor Ingredients
    Sprinkle the chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
    Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach over the chicken.
  4. Pour the Sauce
    Pour the creamy Tuscan-style sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is coated.
  5. Slow Cook
    Cover and cook on:

    • LOW: 5–6 hours
    • HIGH: 3–4 hours

    The chicken will become very tender and the sauce will thicken as it cooks.

  6. Add the Parmesan
    About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese to enrich the sauce.
  7. Serve
    Serve the chicken hot with the creamy sauce spooned over the top.
    Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
