Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt black pepper paprika and Italian seasoning on both sides. Lightly grease the slow cooker with olive oil and place the chicken in a single layer.
In a bowl whisk together heavy cream chicken broth garlic Parmesan cheese and sun dried tomatoes until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry then stir it into the slow cooker. Add fresh spinach and gently mix. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce thickens and spinach wilts.
Spoon sauce over chicken before serving and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with pasta rice or vegetables.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Add red pepper flakes for a mild kick.
If sauce thickens too much add a splash of broth.
