Instructions

Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
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 the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 175°F for thighs.
Mix the cream and cornstarch together. Remove the lid and stir in the mixture along with parmesan.
Add spinach in handfuls, cover, and let it wilt for 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.
Serve over pasta, rice, or orzo, spooning sauce generously over the top.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
If you like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes when seasoning the chicken.
This dish pairs well with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
