Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup bottled Tuscan Italian dressing
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top
  • 2 cups fresh spinach add fresh for best flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray if desired.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in an even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the Tuscan Italian dressing evenly over the chicken so each piece is well coated.
  4. Scatter the cream cheese cubes over the top of the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  2. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the spinach.
  3. Cover again and let it wilt into the hot sauce.
  4. Gently shred or slice the chicken before serving and spoon the sauce over the top.

Notes

Serve this dish with a side of pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. You can also add sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts for a different flavor profile. Consider adding crushed red pepper flakes for a kick!
