Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken is the richest, creamiest crockpot meal you will ever eat. And it is so simple to make.
Creamy Tuscan Chicken has an ample amount of creamy, thick sauce that tastes great served over pasta or mashed potatoes.
Just look at those chicken breasts drowning in all that sauce!
The chicken cooks up super tender and moist.
A couple of jars of alfredo sauce are used for the sauce. Sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes add lots of flavor. At the end a bag of baby spinach gets mixed in. Not only does it add some color, but also some good nutrition.
Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken is one of my favorite crock pot meals ever. Try it and I think you’ll find it becomes a regular in your dinner rotation!

Do you have a recommendation on an alfredo sauce to use? And where in the store do you find the sun-dried tomatoes? Are they in a can/jar or what? Never cooked with them before.
I usually use Bertolli alfredo sauce. My store usually carries sun-dried tomatoes in the produce section. They are in a cellophane bag. Usually in a section with dried fruits and nuts. Sometimes they are down low and not noticeable unless you are looking for them. Some stores have them on the shelf near the canned tomatoes or with the pasta sauces.
Looks like not enough liquid .does it supposed to look dry. I used fresh tomatoes and put spinach .
Can you do frozen chicken? We have tons of chicken a d want to make this but don’t have time to thaw it…
I don’t recommend putting frozen chicken in a crockpot. If you are pressed for time, you can defrost it in the microwave.
Can you do frozen chicken? If so what’s the cook time for that?
Added fresh rosemary to mine and man was it yummy. Also used cherry tomatoes instead (just cause it’s all I had) . Alfredo was homemade
I love rosemary! Must have tasted so good!
Just made this…incredible! Easy to make, and so very yummy! My family loved it. Thank you!
Can’t wait to try this today! I made Alfredo instead of using the jar kind! Hopefully it turns out! Smells delicious!
Can you use jarred sundried tomatoes without the oil?
Yes.
Can you use jarred sundried tomatoes and just drain the oil?
do you happen to know the nutritional facts? Such as calories, and carbs and all that?
Sorry, I don’t have those calcullated for this recipe and it will vary based on which brand of alfredo sauce you use.
Can u skip browning chicken first
Yes, you certainly can. May need to cook it just a little longer in the crock pot. Enjoy!!
Hi! How long would you estimate it would take for the chicken to cook if you skipped the browning process ?
This was my question also 🙂
I don’t think it will effect the cooking time that much. Maybe an extra 30 minutes.
