Crockpot Tuscan-Style Chicken Thighs

1. 1

   Coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray, or line it with a plastic liner.

2. 2

   Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Arrange the sun-dried tomatoes and sliced olives evenly over the seasoned chicken.

4. 4

   Warm olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion to the hot oil and cook until it starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. 5

   With a slotted spoon, move the onions to the slow cooker and spread them evenly over the sun-dried tomatoes.

6. 6

   Put the skillet back over medium heat and add the cream, stirring until the olive oil is fully incorporated and the sauce starts to bubble. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the onions.

7. 7

   Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 6 to 7 hours if you prefer a longer cook time.

8. 8

   Transfer the cooked chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Add the torn spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Lift the spinach from the sauce with a slotted spoon and place it on top of the chicken and vegetables.

9. 9

   The sauce will be somewhat thin. If you want a thicker sauce, pour it into a small saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.

10. 10

    Spoon the sauce and spinach over the dish and serve warm.
