Instructions

Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with sea salt, black pepper, italian seasoning, and paprika on both sides.
Add minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth around the chicken.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours until chicken is tender and reaches the proper internal temperature.
Combine heavy cream and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Remove the lid and mix this into the slow cooker along with parmesan cheese.
Gradually add spinach, covering the slow cooker so it wilts for 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Serve the Tuscan chicken over pasta, rice, or orzo, spooning sauce generously on top.

Notes

Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F to avoid foodborne illness.
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight with spices and garlic before cooking.
This recipe can be frozen, allowing for easy meal prep for busy days.
