Well, it’s time to
go back to school and I keep imagining that old commercial where mom and dad are pushing a cart buying school supplies and singing “it’s the most wonderful time of the year.” That always made me laugh, although I really enjoyed having my son home this summer.
Anyway, today we are celebrating back-to-school dinners at Sunday dinner and I have been longing for this slow cooker keto chicken with creamy tomato spinach dish. It is rich and creamy and full of spinach.
You can eat it over pasta, zucchini noodles or as is. Make sure you do a lot because it’s going fast!
Recipe ingredients
.
The ingredients I used in this keto slow cooker recipe were boneless chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, broth, garlic, Italian seasonings, cream cheese, and asiago cheese.
I
wanted to have that spinach and cheese texture, so I added the spinach at the end so it wouldn’t shrink too much. Sun-dried tomatoes and cheese really added flavor to the creamy sauce.
Let’s make some Keto Slow Cooker chicken!
First add the
- broth, garlic, tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker and bata to combine
- breasts on top and cook over high heat for 3 1/2 hours
- Take out the chicken and add the cream cheese and grated Asiago cheese. Put on the lid and let cook for 5 minutes and then beat to combine and make the creamy sauce.
- spinach, mix, cover and cook for 10

As you can see below, I ate mine about zucchini noodles. Using this handy dandy cooking tool, I quickly made zucchini noodles. This is the perfect dish for vegetarian noodles, as there is a lot of flavor in the sauce.
Of course, my husband and son ate this with pasta. By the way, it also tastes great on its own without a side dish.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- I made this recipe using the high setting on my slow cooker. It took less than 4 hours from start to finish.
- Try to beat the cream cheese and asiago cheese as best you can when you add it towards the end. If you want to keep it in slow cooker for longer to melt the cheese, that’s fine.
- added the spinach towards the end because I wanted them to be bulkier. If you want you can add it at the beginning. It may shrink quite a bit, but it should be fine.
I
I hope you like this rich and creamy slow cooking keto chicken dish. My family really enjoyed it.
