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.

    Made this for dinner last night and my husband absolutely loved it! I served it over mashed cauliflower, and he had 2 heaping plates full. When I try a new recipe and he says it’s good enough to serve to company, I know I have found a winner! I followed the recipe exactly, except I added extra parmesan cheese. I bought the sundried tomatoes packed in oil, but drained and rinsed them and they worked fine. This will definitely be in the rotation going forward!

  5. Stacy says:

    Do I have to brown the chicken first?

  6. Maggie says:

    So good!! I switched it up a little and added a can of artichokes at the end with spinach. Came out so good. I also use chicken tenders instead of breast. Just enough chicken! Super Yummy!

  7. Lisa says:

    Delicious! I Cut in 1/2 since there’s just 2 of us. I usually make my own alfredo, but I decided I would try a jar for this. The addition of the spices, spinach and sundried tomatoes was perfect. So easy and so good. Yum!

  8. Bill Sobel says:

    Silly question…can this dish be made in my InstantPot?

  9. Marquita says:

    Can this be cooked on high? My slow cooker only has setting for 8 and 10 hours on low.

    1. Julia says:

      Did you end up using the high setting? My crockpot is the same way with settings

    2. Gail says:

      Very good, many compliments
