4
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken (thighs or breasts)
Natural Grocers® Brand Bulk Real Salt and Organic Ground Black Pepper
1 1⁄2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Italian Seasoning Blend
3 organic garlic cloves, minced
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 cup organic chicken or vegetable broth (or sub 1 cup hot water mixed with 1 teaspoon or 1/2 cube of bouillon), (or sub 1 cup hot water mixed with 1 teaspoon or 1 cube of bouillon)
1 (13.5-ounce) can Natural Grocers Brand Organic Original Coconut Milk
3⁄4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Sun-Dried Tomatoes, roughly chopped
1⁄2 cup sliced Natural Grocers Brand Organic Roasted Red Pepper Strips
1 (5-ounce) package organic baby spinach
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh organic basil, optional for serving
Natural Grocers Brand Organic Parmesan Cheese, optional for serving
  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Generously season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and then sprinkle the Italian seasonings over the top. Roughly chop the artichoke hearts and scatter them over the top of the chicken; add the minced garlic. Pour the broth and coconut milk over everything and scatter the sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  2. About 15 minutes before serving, scatter the roasted red pepper slices and spinach over the chicken. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes more, or until the spinach has wilted. Shred the chicken (it should be very tender) or gently remove it from the slow cooker and serve whole with the vegetables and sauce. Serve with basil and Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
