Total Time:7 hours 10 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
Season the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot and season evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to ensure the meat is flavorful.
Prepare the creamy mixture: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped spinach, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mixing well to create a rich sauce.
Combine and cook: Pour the cream mixture over the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot, cover with the lid, and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the crockpot, spoon the creamy sauce over the top, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve hot for a delicious keto-friendly meal.
Notes
Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best tenderness and flavor.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and simmer the sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes to reduce.
Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of flavor, but you can substitute with roasted red peppers if preferred.
This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete keto meal.
Make sure to stir in grated Parmesan cheese just before serving to maintain its creamy texture.
