My Crockpot Tuscan Chicken features tender chicken breasts that are made flavorful with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and more! I love that served in a rich and creamy sauce with parmesan cheese and spinach to really send it over the top.

Why We Love This Crockpot Tuscan Chicken Recipe

Crockpot Chicken is always a breeze. I love that adding this delicious sauce just takes things up a notch.

  • Creamy. Heavy cream melds with a chicken broth base to create a rich sauce that keeps the chicken moist.
  • Cheesy. Parmesan cheese adds an umami flavor and great texture.
  • Flavorful. Garlic, Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and fresh herbs create a delectable sauce.

Variations

I love to toss in some garlic powder to enhance that garlicky flavor even more! Onion powder also adds a pretty nice flavor. When I want to make things a little spicy, I sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes for an added spicy kick.

How to Store and Reheat

Once cooled to room temperature, leftover Tuscan chicken will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed all the way through.

Serving Suggestions

I serve with a side of your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine or spaghetti. I have found that rice and mashed potatoes also do the trick! I want something that will catch all of that creamy sauce so not a drop goes to waste.

Can I use chicken thighs?

Yes! They may need to cook longer so be sure to check for doneness. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs beforehand.

Can I make this in an Instant Pot?

Yes, you can make this dish in the Instant Pot if you already have one at home and ready to use.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes! It’s fine to use frozen spinach. However, it does require a few extra steps, such as thawing it out and then using a towel to remove the extra moisture from it.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I used a little corn starch to thicken the sauce up so we could serve it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with everyone!5 stars

Making this for the first time today. I misread the instructions and added 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock instead of 1/2 cup. Is this going to be a ruined attempt now?

Hi Steve, you should be able to fix it by draining off some of the liquid or pouring it into a pot on the stove and letting it cook off!

I make this in a skillet. That keeps the chicken from being overcooked. Cook the chicken in the garlic oil mix to 165 degrees. I put the tomatoes in the pan when I first turn the chicken. They will stick a bit, but that comes off when you deglaze the pan with chicken broth. Add the cream and cheese to the pan to make the sauce. Toss in the spinach and put the chicken back in. Serve with any pasta. My wife says she could eat just pasta and the sauce.5 stars

That’s very surprising! Usually, in the crockpot, the chicken creates more juice as it cooks. It sounds like it may have cooked for too long or with the lid off for a portion of the time. You can always add a bit more broth, though!
