heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Place chicken breasts into a slow cooker.

Season the chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Set the seasoned chicken aside.

In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, dijon mustard, corn starch, salt, and black pepper.

Mix everything together very well.

Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.

Add sun-dried tomatoes on top of the chicken, tossing them randomly.

Drizzle the sun-dried tomato oil over the chicken.

Place the lid on the slow cooker.

Let the chicken slow cook for about 3 hours on high or 4 hours on low.

30 minutes before the chicken is done, stir the sauce to ensure there are no lumps from the corn starch.

Add spinach, nestling it into the sauce, and continue slow cooking for the remaining 30 minutes.

Once done, the chicken should be pull-apart tender and juicy; you can shred it and mix it with the sauce.
