Ingredients:

8 cups spinach loosely packed and chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth
4 pieces chicken breast filets
3 cloves garlic fresh and chopped
1/4 piece sweet onion finely chopped
4 tablespoons cream cheese reduced-fat but not fat-free
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese shredded
14 ounces artichoke hearts canned and preservative-free or 6-8 artichoke hearts from a jar, drained and chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Wash and chop your spinach, tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Drain and chop the artichoke hearts if using jarred ones.
In your slow cooker, begin by placing the chicken breast filets at the bottom. Next, layer the chopped spinach, artichokes, garlic, sweet onion, and chopped tomatoes on top.
Dollop the cream cheese over the top of the layered ingredients, followed by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese evenly.
Carefully add the chicken broth to the slow cooker. This will help keep everything moist and flavorful as it cooks.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the dish according to your preference. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning later!
Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. Stir everything together until well combined, and taste for seasoning. Serve warm over rice, pasta, or simply on its own for a satisfying meal!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm it up in a saucepan or microwave.
