Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Broth and Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 cups baby spinach or kale (optional)

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend (basil, oregano, thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. If using fresh herbs, chop them finely to release their natural oils and flavors.
  2. Layer ingredients in the slow cooker: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot, then add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped onion, and Italian seasoning evenly over the top.
  3. Slow cook on low for 6-7 hours: Cover and cook on low heat until the chicken is cooked through and tender enough to shred with ease.
  4. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the pot to retain maximum flavor.
  5. Add cream, cheese, and greens: Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing the heat to dissolve the cheese and thicken the soup. Toss in the spinach or kale and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the greens wilt and soften.
  6. Season and serve: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or fresh parsley garnish.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and authentic flavor.
  • Shred chicken directly in the pot for best absorption of flavors.
  • If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to adjust consistency.
  • Browning onions and garlic before adding to the crock pot can deepen flavors but is optional.
  • Keep the crock pot lid closed during cooking to maintain steady temperature and ensure even cooking.
