Tuscan Crockpot Chicken ๐

What’s creamy, dreamy and best served drippy and dippy? Well the answer is Tuscan Crockpot Chicken. You can call it tuscan crockpot chicken or you can call it marry me crockpot chicken, but one thing you do have to call it is dinner this week. All of the best flavors of tuscany simmered in a crockpot perfectly.
Now, I am going to serve this Tuscan Chicken over some crostini but you can also serve this with your pasta of choice or over mashed potatoes. I already know you’re going to love this recipe, so let’s make it!


I have been using this Large 8 Quart Crockpot for years and I love it! I love this crockpot because it serves 10+ people and the stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe.

To your crockpot add the chicken breasts, Sun Dried Tomato Oil, and lemon zest.

This delicious spice blend includes: Garlic Powder, Dried Basil, Paprika, Italian Seasoning, and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes.

Add in the Garlic Powder, Dried Basil, Paprika, Italian Seasoning, and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, and salt & cracked black pepper. Rub all the seasoning, lemon zest, and oil onto both sides of the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. Set that aside.

In a Large Measuring Cup or bowl add the heavy cream and squeeze in the lemon juice using a Handheld Lemon Juicer.

Next add in the Minced Garlic.

Then add in the Sun Dried Tomatoes, grated pecorino romano, and Cornstarch. Whisk that together until combined.


Pour that creamy mixture over the top of the seasoned chicken breasts in the crockpot.

Sprinkle over the chopped red onions and some more salt & cracked black pepper. Cook on low for 3-5 hours or until it’s as tender as you want it to be.

When there is 15 minutes left of cooking time, add in the spinach, pop the lid back on, and let that cook for the remaining time.

Now while you’re waiting for the tuscan chicken to be done, begin preparing your crostini. Place the sliced Italian bread on a Baking Sheet.

In a small bowl combine olive oil, Oregano, and salt & pepper.

Using a Silicone Brush, brush that mixture over each slice of Italian bread. Then bake them in the oven at 400ยฐF until toasty.

Absolutely! You can add veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots. Just be mindful of the cooking time; softer vegetables should be added later in the cooking process.
Itโs best to use thawed chicken for even cooking. Cooking frozen chicken in a crockpot can lead to uneven cooking and potential food safety issues.
