Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can substitute with low-fat cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of your CrockPot.
  3. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, then scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach on top.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, then pour this creamy mixture over the contents in the CrockPot.
Cooking
  1. Set your CrockPot to low heat and let it cook for 6-8 hours. Alternatively, cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken right in the pot using two forks, mix it with the sauce, and serve hot over pasta, rice, or alone with some crusty bread.

Notes

Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer storage, thaw and reheat with extra cream.
