Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  • Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
  • Directly over the chicken in the slow cooker, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and pour the chicken broth evenly over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside.
  • Stir the heavy cream and baby spinach into the slow cooker, allowing the spinach to wilt and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Return the chicken to the slow cooker and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
  • Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
  • Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the Tuscan chicken garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by your choice of pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
