This Keto Creamy Tuscan Chicken is a rich and flavorful low-carb dish featuring tender chicken thighs cooked slowly in a creamy sauce with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic. Perfect for a comforting, hearty meal that fits a keto lifestyle.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Sauce and Vegetables

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot and season them evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to build the base flavor.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Add sauce and cook: Pour the creamy mixture over the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 7 hours to ensure the chicken becomes tender and infused with flavors. Alternatively, cook on high for 4 hours.
  4. Finish and serve: After cooking, check that the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce is creamy. Serve the chicken hot, garnished generously with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory touch.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil will add extra richness; drain them if you prefer a lighter sauce.
  • Spinach can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard for variation.
  • Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give the dish a mild kick if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve creaminess.
