❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Tuscan Chicken Crock Pot
1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. They will be even more tender and juicy. The cooking time will be about the same.
2. How do I thicken the sauce?
If the sauce is too thin, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Let it cook uncovered to thicken.
3. Can I make this dairy free?
Yes, you can substitute the heavy cream with full fat coconut milk and use a dairy free Parmesan cheese. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of milk or broth to loosen the sauce.
5. Can I freeze this dish?
Yes, you can freeze the cooked chicken and sauce in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently. The spinach may lose some texture but the flavor will be great.
