Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds chicken breasts (whole or bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, rinsed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Trim and cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or leave whole if shredding later. Mince the garlic and rinse the greens thoroughly. Measure out all spices and other ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Layer in the Crock Pot: Place chicken breasts or pieces in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour chicken broth and tomato sauce over the top, then add minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir to combine while keeping the chicken mostly covered.
  3. Slow Cook Until Tender: Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for about 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
  4. Add Creaminess and Greens: Remove whole chicken pieces if used, shred them, then stir in heavy cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and spinach or kale. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the greens wilt gently.
  5. Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Give the soup one last stir and serve warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and vibrant flavor.
  • Add greens near the end to retain bright color and nutrients.
  • Shred chicken for a consistent texture throughout the soup.
  • Adjust soup thickness by thinning with extra broth or cream if too thick.
  • Cook on low for moisture retention and tender chicken.
