Why We Love This Crockpot Tuscan Chicken Recipe
Crockpot Chicken is always a breeze. I love that adding this delicious sauce just takes things up a notch.
- Creamy. Heavy cream melds with a chicken broth base to create a rich sauce that keeps the chicken moist.
- Cheesy. Parmesan cheese adds an umami flavor and great texture.
- Flavorful. Garlic, Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and fresh herbs create a delectable sauce.
Variations
I love to toss in some garlic powder to enhance that garlicky flavor even more! Onion powder also adds a pretty nice flavor. When I want to make things a little spicy, I sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes for an added spicy kick.

How to Store and Reheat
Once cooled to room temperature, leftover Tuscan chicken will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed all the way through.
Serving Suggestions
I serve with a side of your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine or spaghetti. I have found that rice and mashed potatoes also do the trick! I want something that will catch all of that creamy sauce so not a drop goes to waste.

Yes! They may need to cook longer so be sure to check for doneness. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs beforehand.
Yes, you can make this dish in the Instant Pot if you already have one at home and ready to use.
Yes! It’s fine to use frozen spinach. However, it does require a few extra steps, such as thawing it out and then using a towel to remove the extra moisture from it.
This recipe is absolutely delicious. My husband raved about it. The only problem was that I didn’t make enough. He asked me to add more chicken next time.
My crock pot must be on the hot side. 3 (couldn’t fit 4) completely frozen solid 1 lb. breasts were at 165 in 2 hours
Easy & delicious. Served with homemade fettuccine. From 11 years old to 44 years old it was loved!
This was delicious!! I made it today exactly as stated (except I cooked on low for 8 hours) and wow, so tender and tasty and EASY!! . I’ll definitely be making this again and again.
My Italian family with two picky eaters liked it. This was an easy, make-again dinner.
I love this recipe! All my kids do as well and I have a couple of very picky eaters
Can you use cream cheese instead of heavy cream? Or a milk/cream cheese combo?
We think that could work!
My husband LOVED this! He said it was better than his favorite chicken marsala meal from Olive Garden…lol..I made no deviation to the recipe. I will ad mushrooms next time. So glad I came across your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
That’s wonderful to hear, Alicia! Thanks so much for sharing!
Probably user Error. Didn’t have to be rude about it. Most people taste the food and sauce while cooking to see if it is to their liking 🙄
This was delicious! I’m always searching for easy and tasty crockpot recipes. So happy to have found one!
