Instructions

Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, then pour in chicken broth around the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or on LOW for 6 hours until the chicken is tender and reaches 175°F internal temperature.
Combine the heavy cream and cornstarch in a bowl. Remove the lid and stir in this mixture along with the parmesan cheese.
Add spinach gradually, covering to let it wilt for 5 to 10 minutes, then adjust the salt to taste.
Serve over pasta, rice, or orzo, generously spooning the sauce on top.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for the best results, as it wilts beautifully in the sauce.
Feel free to adjust the spices and seasonings according to your taste for a customized flavor.
This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
