Recipe Equipment

To make this creamy crockpot chicken recipe, you’ll need:

• Slow cooker / crockpot
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Tongs or forks for shredding/serving

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• Optional garnish: fresh basil or parsley

Ingredient Notes

Chicken

Chicken thighs provide extra juiciness and flavor, but chicken breasts work well for a leaner option.

Heavy Cream

Creates the rich, silky base for the sauce and keeps the recipe keto-friendly.

Cream Cheese

Adds body and luxurious creaminess while helping thicken the sauce.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

These bring sweet, tangy bursts of flavor that make Tuscan chicken so distinctive.

Spinach

Fresh spinach wilts perfectly into the hot sauce for color, nutrients, and freshness.

Why These Ingredients Work

This combination creates a rich and flavorful sauce with layers of creamy, garlicky, savory goodness. The cream cheese and Parmesan melt together into a velvety base, while sun-dried tomatoes add brightness to balance the richness. Slow cooking allows the chicken to absorb every bit of flavor while becoming incredibly tender.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Place chicken breasts or thighs in the crockpot.

Season with:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic powder
• Italian seasoning

Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Chicken broth
• Heavy cream
• Softened cream cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• Minced garlic

Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.

Step 3: Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the top.

They’ll infuse the sauce with rich, tangy Tuscan flavor as everything cooks.

Step 4: Slow Cook

Cover and cook on:

• LOW for 4–6 hours, or
• HIGH for 2–3 hours

Cook until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 5: Add Spinach

About 15 minutes before serving, stir in fresh spinach.

Cover again and let it wilt into the hot creamy sauce.

Step 6: Serve

Serve whole chicken breasts or shred the chicken into the sauce for an ultra-creamy texture.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

This Keto Crockpot Tuscan Chicken pairs beautifully with:

• Cauliflower mashed potatoes
• Zucchini noodles
• Steamed broccoli
• Roasted asparagus
• Spaghetti squash
• Keto dinner rolls

It’s also delicious spooned over sautéed mushrooms for an extra-low-carb meal.

Pro Tips & Variations

For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the final 20 minutes of cooking to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Want extra richness? Stir in more Parmesan before serving. For added protein and texture, toss in cooked bacon pieces or mushrooms. If you prefer spice, add red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. This recipe also works well with boneless pork chops instead of chicken. Meal preppers can portion leftovers into containers with cauliflower rice for easy grab-and-go lunches.

Storage Information

Refrigerator

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freezer

Freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months.

Reheating

Warm gently on the stovetop or microwave until heated through.

Add a splash of cream if sauce thickens too much.
