Creamy Slow-Cooker Chicken

A creamy slow-cooker meal is perfect for those chilly days. You can make this dish very quickly and then enjoy the aromas for the next 4 hours while it cooks. The fresh spinach added toward the end of the cooking time adds beautiful color and freshness.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp of ghee

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup of alfredo sauce

• 1/4 cup of chopped sun dried tomatoes

• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

• 2 cups of fresh spinach

• Pink salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the ghee. Add the chicken and cook, about 4 minutes on each side, until brown.

2. With the crock insert in place, transfer the chicken to the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to low.

3. In a small bowl, mix to combine the Alfredo sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese, and season the pink salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken.

4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.

5. Add the fresh spinach. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more, until the spinach is slightly wilted, and serve.

Substitution tip: You can replace the chicken with pork chops and follow the same instructions.
