Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 4-6 chicken thigh (leave whole)
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 6x sundried tomatoes sliced or cherry tomatoes work well
  • 1x tsp garlic
  • 300ml of cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 jar of basil pesto (recommend barilla)
  • Parmesan about 1/4 of a cup
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place all Ingredients (apart from spinach) into slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours add the spinach about 30 minutes before serving just to soften it.
  • If cream splits add 1tbs or cornflour to 1-2 Tbs or water mix and pour into slow cookers and it should fix that problem. Alternatively you can add the cream when you add your spinach.
  • Serve with pasta cooked as per packet directions and a good sprinkle of Parmesan
  • I almost used a full packet of penne this made enough for 4 people
