Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
In the crock pot, layer the fresh spinach at the bottom.
Add the seared chicken breasts on top of the spinach.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese (softened), chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, sautéed garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Pour the cream mixture over the chicken and spinach in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Once finished, gently stir the spinach and sauce together to ensure everything is well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the creamed spinach and garlic chicken warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
