The Magic of Slow-Cooked Tuscan Chicken

This recipe is a true crowd-pleaser, balancing the rich sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes with the zest of Italian herbs and a velvety garlic cream sauce. Slow cooking allows all the flavors to develop fully, yielding chicken that’s fall-apart tender and decadently sauced. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, effortless entertaining, or as a cozy meal on a chilly day.

Effortless Ingredient Prep

For this recipe, you’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, spinach, herbs, and a few simple dairy ingredients. To save time and ensure uniform veggie chops, reach for a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This tool makes dicing onions, mincing garlic, and prepping sun-dried tomatoes fast and safe, so you can layer everything right into your slow cooker.

Building Layers of Tuscan Flavor

Start by placing chicken in your crockpot. Scatter chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and garlic over the top. Whisk together cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese, then pour over the chicken. Fresh baby spinach goes in near the end so it stays bright and tender. Use a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen to easily pull apart the perfectly cooked chicken before serving—the creamy sauce clings to every strand.

If you like extra crispy chicken, quickly sear the breasts in a hot pan (a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet works great here) before transferring to the slow cooker. This adds subtle texture and deeper flavor.

Serving Suggestions for a Cozy Tuscan Feast

Serve your Tuscan Garlic Chicken over a bed of pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up every drop of sauce. For lunch the next day, portion leftovers into a Bentgo Salad Container for an unbeatable midday treat—just add a side of crusty bread. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley for bright color and freshness.
