Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 tsp salt plus up to 1/2 tsp more to taste
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- 6 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 onion diced
- 14 oz artichoke hearts (1 can, drained)
- 8.5 oz sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (1 jar) julienned with herbs
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz fresh spinach
- 2 cups heavy cream
Garnish (optional)
- Parmesan Cheese
- croutons
Instructions
- Season the chicken breast with the salt, pepper and Italian herbs and place the chicken breast in the crockpot.
- Add chopped onion, julienned sun dried tomatoes, and quartered artichoke hearts, and garlic then mix and cover with broth.
- Cook on high for 2.5-3 hours (or low 3-3.5 hours,) then remove the chicken breasts and chop or shred and return to crock pot.
- Add spinach to crock pot and stir it in. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to wilt.
- Add 2 cups of heavy cream to the soup and stir to combine. Season with additional salt to taste (up to 1/2 tsp.) *see notes for cream cheese alternative.
- Serve warm garnished with freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
Notes
- *For a slightly thicker broth, use 8 oz of softened cream cheese instead of heavy cream in the soup. After cooking, mix the cream cheese with the shredded chicken and then incorporate back into the soup.
