Creamy Crock Pot chicken with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes transforms savory Italian flavors into a hands-off main dish for your next Italian night! It’s similar to creamy Tuscan salmon, but with the added benefit of cooking low, slow, and tender in your slow cooker. I’ll show you how to make this Crock Pot Tuscan chicken recipe, but there are stovetop instructions (similar to skillet sun dried tomato chicken) as well if that’s your preference.
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for creamy Crock Pot chicken, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

This creamy Crock Pot chicken recipe has a thinner sauce, perfect for drizzling over the chicken (and rice or potatoes, too). But if you prefer a thicker sauce, simply remove the chicken after cooking and stir in softened cream cheese, until it’s thickened to your liking.
Don’t have a Crock Pot? No problem! You can easily adjust the recipe to make it in a skillet — and the sauce comes out thicker that way, if that’s your preference:

When you’re making Tuscan chicken in the Crock Pot, here are my top tips for ensuring your chicken is perfect every time:
Store leftovers covered in an airtight container the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also make the sauce ahead, store in the refrigerator, then heat and thin out as needed before pouring over the chicken.
Yes, you can freeze Crock Pot chicken recipes. Cool completely, cover tightly, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.

People always ask for seconds and rarely there are any leftovers. What I personally like the most about this chicken is the clean, subtle flavors of caramelized garlic, onion and ginger, complemented by a touch of sweetness coming from the onions. These simple flavors go a long way to reveal the natural flavor of the chicken. The golden brown color of the perfectly browned chicken skin is an eye candy too. You can't beat these captivating flavors and colors unspoiled by some overly powerful ingredients.
Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs Meal
There is something so rustic, so homey about this chicken that it always makes you feel good and happy. And the juices... let me tell you, I could drink them right out the Crock-Pot. Better yet, I like grabbing a slice of freshly baked sourdough bread and dip it in those amber juices and eat with the chicken.
There are many ways to make slow cooker chicken but this one is my favorite as far as simplicity and taste go. The key here is to crisp up chicken skin, rendering most of the fat out, and to caramelize vegetables to deep golden brown color on a skillet. No slow cooker with a browning function can attain a similar level of caramelization that can be achieved using a skillet. And you won't be able to render as much fat from chicken skin and make as deep golden brown as you would on a skillet.
You want to do it very quickly too, without cooking the chicken meat. It only takes minutes to do but that's where most of the flavor will come from. And only then the slow cooker will begin to do that it does best - slowly cook and tenderize the chicken to perfection, without it losing much moisture, and until it's melt-in-your-mouth tender and succulent.
Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes To Make During The Week
You may be wondering which chicken parts to use in this recipe. My favorite choice is chicken thighs, though I've used chicken wings and drumsticks and liked them a lot too. All three are slow cooker-friendly and come out tender and juicy. Chicken breasts are not the best choice though as they are lean and dry out easily.
I like adding ginger and garlic immediately with the onions, not towards the end as is customary. The garlic will brown to dark brown color, which will add more color to the liquids in the slow cooker. This will also mellow out the strong garlic flavor and pungency, leaving very subtle flavor. However, be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger, you need to stir constantly and stop sauteing before that happens.

Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala
Yes! It is totally fine to put the raw chicken right in the slow cooker. If you would prefer to take the extra step to sear the chicken before slow cooking, feel free. It doesn’t hurt but also isn’t necessary.
When it comes to cooking chicken in the slow cooker, lower and slower is the way to go for a more tender texture. However, if you’re lower on time and would rather cook on high, that will work as well. Just be sure not to overcook! Cooking on high usually requires only half the time.
No. It is not considered safe to cook frozen chicken in the crockpot. If all you have is frozen chicken, you should thaw it in the fridge first before making any slow cooker chicken recipes. To quickly thaw frozen chicken, place it in a bowl of cool water and allow it to sit until thawed. Change the water out every 20 minutes so that it doesn’t get too warm.
