Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, season the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the CrockPot. Add the minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach on top of the chicken.
- Pour the heavy cream over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
