For an even richer flavor, try searing the chicken thighs in a pan before adding them to the slow cooker. If you don't have Castelvetrano olives on hand, Kalamata olives make a great substitute. Serve with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSpray the interior of the slow cooker with cooking spray, or use a plastic liner.
02
StepPlace chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
03
StepEvenly layer sun-dried tomatoes and sliced olives over the seasoned chicken.
04
StepHeat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion to the hot oil and cook until onions begin to get tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
05
StepUsing a slotted spoon, transfer onions to the slow cooker and spread evenly over the sun-dried tomatoes.
06
StepReturn the skillet to medium heat and add cream, stirring until all the olive oil is incorporated and the sauce begins to bubble. Pour cream sauce evenly over the onions.
07
StepCover slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours or Low for 6 to 7 hours if you prefer a longer cook time.
08
StepRemove cooked chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Add torn spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove spinach from sauce with a slotted spoon and place on top of the chicken and vegetables.
09
StepThe sauce will be a bit thin. If you like a thicker sauce, pour into a small saucepan over medium heat. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Stir until all the lumps are gone, to create a slurry. Add slurry to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.

StepSpoon sauce and spinach over the dish and serve warm.
