Instructions

Step 1

Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the bottom, sprinkle over the seasonings, add in the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, the drained sun dried tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth.

Step 2

Cook on low 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is 165ºF.

Step 3

Add in the spinach and heavy cream, stir together. Sprinkle in parmesan cheese.

Step 4

While cooking, prepare the orzo according to package directions. I like to cook it in chicken or veggie broth instead of water for more flavor.

Step 5

Serve chicken and sauce over orzo, garnish with parsley and additional parmesan cheese.
