It doesn’t get much easier (or tastier!) than this Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken recipe, with a rich sun-dried tomato, cream and parmesan sauce. Minimal prep time needed, meaning you can chuck everything in the slow cooker and let it work its magic!
Creamy Tuscan Chicken In The Slow Cooker
- Why choose this recipe? Based on my Creamy Tuscan Chicken recipe, this has all the delicious rich flavours and tender chicken breasts, but with none of the effort. Just chuck it in the Crockpot and wait for it to cook – your house will smell fab!
- Top Tip: You don’t have to brown the chicken before slow cooking if you’re short on time, but it is 100% worth it in my opinion as it deepens the flavour.
- No Slow Cooker? Make my Creamy Tuscan Chicken on the stovetop instead – it’s just as delicious!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve this slow cooker tuscan chicken with rice, cheesy mashed potatoes or crispy parmentier potatoes. Gluten free garlic bread is optional but recommended!
Don’t just take my word for it…
Barbara left ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and said: “Yummy! Was worried the chicken breast would be tough after such a long cook but it was so tender and delicious! Very easy too! Highly recommend.“
Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for this Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Chicken Breasts: You’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. For a vegetarian alternative, try my Marry Me Chickpeas recipe instead – or check out my Creamy Tuscan Salmon too.
- Gluten Free Flour: Use a plain gluten free flour or all purpose gluten free flour blend.
- Garlic
- Paprika
- Dried Oregano
- Sun Dried Tomatoes: Get jarred sun dried tomatoes as you’ll need to use some of the oil from the jar for the sauce. If not, you’ll next some extra virgin olive oil for this.
- Double Cream: In the US look for heavy cream. You can also use cream cheese.
- Chicken Stock: Either use homemade chicken stock or ensure you pick a gluten free stock cube.
- Parmesan
- Spinach: I recommend fresh spinach leaves as frozen will add too much moisture.

Butterfly the chicken breasts so you have 4 chicken cutlets. Mix the gluten free flour, paprika, salt and pepper together and spread on a plate.
Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mix, turning so it is coated well. Press the flour into the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Add some of the sun dried tomato oil to a large pan and place on a medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for a minute on each side until just browned, to seal the meat (you can skip this step if short on time!)
Add all of the ingredients EXCEPT the spinach to the slow cooker. Mix well and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
Stir in the spinach and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the spinach has wilted, then serve.
