Ingredients

Sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Chicken

6 – 8 chicken thighs skinless, bone-in
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red chili pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
2 cups spinach chopped

Instructions

Sauce

Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in olive oil and garlic. Saute for 1 minute.
Now, add in the heavy cream and chicken broth, give it a mix, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
When the cream sauce is ready, lower the heat even more and add in parmesan cheese. Whisk to mix it in well.

Chicken

While the sauce is simmering, place the chicken thighs in a crockpot. Season with Italian seasoning, red chili pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Top it all up with sun-dried tomatoes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, covering as much of the chicken as possible. Cook for 3-4 hours on a high or 6-8 hours on a low setting.
Once chicken is cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the crockpot, very gently as it'll be very soft. Turn the crockpot on a high setting and add in the chopped spinach. Cook for a few minutes until the spinach wilts.
Return the chicken back into the crockpot, spoon the sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach all over the chicken. Now it's ready to serve.
