Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Place them at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
Cooking
  1. Cover your slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow it to cook for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Finishing Touches
  1. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to wilt and infuse the sauce with flavor.
  2. Once done, shred the chicken in the sauce, serve it over your choice of rice or pasta, and garnish with extra cheese if desired.

Notes

For a halal-friendly option, ensure chicken and broth are halal-certified. Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for three months. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth to maintain texture.
