Chicken Breasts are slow cooked in a creamy Alfredo sauce flavored with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker

Ingredients

  • ▢1 tablespoon butter
  • ▢4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ▢salt and pepper
  • ▢2 (15-ounce) jars Alfredo sauce with roasted garlic
  • ▢2 (3-ounce) packages slivered sun-dried tomatoes, NOT in oil
  • ▢1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ▢1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ▢1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ▢1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach leaves

Instructions

  • Melt butter over medium-high heat in a nonstick pan. Season chicken with salt and peppers. Add chicken to pan and cook until browned on both sides.
  • Place chicken in a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl mix together alfredo sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour mixture over chicken. Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Open slow cooker, mix in spinach. Cover and cook 5 more minutes. Serve.

Notes

I recommend cooking chicken breasts on the LOW setting rather than HIGH for best texture.

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
