We were invited to a friends for dinner recently and this was a new recipe she was serving.  I've added it to my menu ever since. I like to organize my meal planning by nationality. Monday is Italian food and this is now a regular on my monthly menu.

Ingredients: (If serving 4, I suggest doubling the sauce recipe.)

4 boneless skinless Chicken breasts (1.5-2 lbs)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

1/4 tsp Paprika

1/8 tsp Black Pepper

1 c heavy cream

1 TB corn Starch

2 tsp minced garlic

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1/3 c sundried tomatoes chopped

1/4 c shredded Parmesan Cheese

1 c chopped fresh spinach (hold)

1. Pour a little olive oil in the bottom of your slow cooker. Put the chicken in, sprinkle the combined rub over the top of the chicken. 

2. Combine the sauce ingredients starting with the cornstarch and stirring constantly as you slowly add the cream. Add the rest of the ingredients. Hold out on adding the spinach.  

Cook on low in the slow cooker with the lid on for 3 hrs or until an internal temperature of 165 F is reached in the chicken. Serve over pasta.

SIDEBAR

"Variations: Substituting milk instead of cream would require adding a little more cornstarch. 1/2 tsp. of Garlic can substitute for 2 tsp. of minced garlic. Chicken Tenderloins works well as a substitute for breasts, too."
