Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Serves: 4

Chicken Breasts are slow cooked in a creamy Alfredo sauce flavored with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.
A couple of jars of alfredo sauce are used for the sauce. Sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes add lots of flavor. At the end a bag of baby spinach gets mixed in. Not only does it add some color, but also some good nutrition.

Dovetailing Tip: Use the defrosted, trimmed chicken breasts that you prepared on day 2, while preparing for Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
