DIRECTIONS FOR SLOW COOKER TUSCAN CHICKEN
First, sprinkle a little black pepper and Italian seasonings on the chicken. Then in a large frying pan, brown the chicken, 3 minutes each side in cooking oil. (this is optional)
Next, place the chopped onion in the crock pot. Now add the chicken on top of the onions. Then pour in the chicken broth, pressed garlic, Italian seasonings, chili flakes, sun dried tomatoes and pepper in the slow cooker and stir a little to combine.
Now cover and cook 3-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low
Then, uncover and remove the chicken. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and cheese so it doesn’t curdle. Return chicken to the crockpot and turn on HIGH if it isn’t already. Cover and cook for 1 more hour. If you want a thicker sauce, remove chicken and add 1 – 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with a little water and whisk.**
Finally, add spinach and stir until wilted. Serve over angel hair pasta.
** STOVETOP SAUCE METHOD – after cooking chicken in the slow cooker on low for 3-5 hours or on high for 6-8 hours, remove chicken and place on plate. Pour the slow cooker juices into a large pan.
