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.
Ingredients
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.
Can I Use Chicken Thighs?
Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts. They will need to cook slightly longer.
Equipment Needed
You will need a 6-quart or larger slow cooker for this recipe. I love to use the Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker. It is relatively inexpensive and well made.
What To Serve with Tuscan Chicken
This easy slow cooker chicken recipe is great served over mashed potatoes, white rice, or pasta with a garden salad with Creamy Italian Dressing. Pepperoncini Garlic Bread also goes great with it.
How To Store
Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. reheat in a microwave. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
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!

If I decide to add a little wine to this recipe would the recipe turn out good? Or do you think it would taste better without wine?
I think a little white wine would be good.
Accidentally picked up Alfredo. Sauce without roasted garlic… can you put chopped garlic from a jar in it ?.. hoe much would you use?
I would use 1.5 teaspoons of minced garlic and sautee it when I was cooking the chicken in the butter. I bet it will turn out fine.
Trust me, any amount of hoe is great! As a matter of fact, please use hoe liberally to your hearts content! Because the more hoe you use the better!
Bahahaaaa!!!
Rather than using whole breast, does anyone think it would be good if you slow cooked a whole chicken and shredded it and mixed it in the sauce?
Yes, you can definitely do that.

I’m only cooking two chicken breasts- can I use just one can Alfredo?
Yes.
Do you know how many calories is in one serving?
OMG awesome. I did not have Sun dried tomatoes, so when servicing I added chopped tomatoes on top. Excellent. I will make it again for sure! Thx
Can I use thighs?
Yes, but chicken thighs take longer than breasts to cook so keep that in mind.
I did a few things different and it came out delicious as well. I had no spinach left so I threw in a bag of frozen broccoli at the end . I did use sundries tomatoes in oil and it was not oily. I also Had no time so I skipped the chicken browning step and just threw the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Everything cooked perfect without any issues .
Made this tonight but with fresh cherry tomatoes and added onion and fresh garlic. My husband LOVED IT!!! Served roasted rosemary baby red potatoes as a side. Definitely will be working this into weekly dinner rotations!
Could you add artichoke hearts (canned and drained), olives, and/or fresh tomatoes in addition to the spinach?!?? If so, when would you recommend adding these ingredients?!
Yes. I think I would just add them the same time as the spinach.
