A Creamy, Garlicky Chicken Dinner That Starts with a Jar of Sauce. This is just the kind of homey dinner that we all need a little more of as the days get shorter and colder. The Alfredo sauce section is the secret to this creamy Italian chicken flecked with sweet sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach, which comes together easily in the slow cooker and begs to be served over pasta.

Ingredients

Cooked pasta
1 tbsp. Freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups Packed baby spinach leaves
1 cup Thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes, patted dry if oil-packed
1/2 cup Water
15 oz. Alfredo sauce
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Method

01

Place 1 chicken breast inside a gallon bag and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper.
02

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in two batches, place the chicken in the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
03

Transfer the chicken seared-side up to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker in an even layer, overlapping slightly as needed. Scatter the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken.
04

Pour in the Alfredo sauce and water; gently stir to make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are submerged.
05

Cover and cook on the LOW setting until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and registers an internal temperature of 165°F, about 2 hours.
06

Uncover and stir in the spinach. Cover and cook until just wilted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the slow cooker and stir in the lemon juice. Serve the chicken over cooked pasta, if desired.
