Serving: 2
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 500g diced chicken thigh
  • 110g block of French Onion Cream Cheese (I used White Valley brand) - see notes below in method
  • 200ml cooking cream
  • 60g baby spinach leaves

Instructions
 

  • Brown/sear diced chicken well in searing slow cooker or pan
  • Add cream cheese and stir for 2-3mins as it melts to coat chicken with it
  • Add cooking cream and stir
  • Cover and use The Tea Towel Trick
  • Cook on HIGH for a further 1hr 15mins
  • Add spinach and stir through until wilted

Notes

  • If you cannot source the French Onion flavoured cream cheese you could use regular Philadelphia cream cheese and mix with 20g French Onion soup mix
  • The cooking cream is important as it resists splitting like normal cream. I like the Bulla brand myself
  • Inspired by the recipe "Chicken with Semi-Dried Tomato & Spinach – LOW CARB"

Alternate versions

  • This recipe can be easily changed simply by changing the flavour of the cream cheese. For example I now love a sweet chilli version that I make the same but just change the French onion creamed cheese to a sweet chilli flavoured cream cheese block instead ?
  • If you can't find sweet chilli cream then add 1/2 cup of sweet chilli sauce to your regular creamed cheese
  • You could also try the Chive and Onion cream cheese flavour or the Apricot Cream Cheese
  • I've also replaced the baby spinach with semi dried tomatoes for another yummy version
