Creamy Sundried Tomato Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c chicken broth
- 4 oz oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, halved lengthwise
- 1 c heavy cream
- 1 c fresh spinach, chopped or whole
- 1/4 c plus 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped, for garnish
- 1 lb cooked pasta, for serving (preferably fettuccine)
Directions
In the slow cooker, combine the broth, tomatoes, salt pepper, and garlic. Nestle the chicken breasts into the mixture. Turn the slow cooker on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
Add the heavy cream, spinach, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and replace the lid. Let it cook for about 30 minutes on low, or until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is melted through. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley and serve with the pasta.
