Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Thawed and patted dry for best texture.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chicken broth Ensure Halal-certified.
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix Check for Halal-friendly options.
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped Add during last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish Optional for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start with chicken breasts that are thawed and patted dry.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and season with salt and pepper. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for about 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  2. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the chopped spinach.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, serve your creamy chicken over rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Substitutions: Greek yogurt can replace cream cheese for a healthier option. Chicken thighs can be used for richer flavor. Monitor cooking time to avoid dry chicken.
