Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 100 ml chicken stock made from one chicken stock pot
- 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

- 100 ml double cream or coconut milk
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 100 g fresh spinach chopped
- grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker apart from the cream, cornflour, spinach and optional cheese.
- Set the slow cooker off on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken should be cooked all the way through (75°C).

- Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the Tuscan chicken hot, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
*If you can’t get any sun-dried tomatoes you can oven roast or air fry some fresh tomatoes.
