Step Instruction Time Pro Tip
1 Coat the 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. 5 min Rub the spices into the meat for deeper flavor.
2 Place the seasoned chicken into the base of the slow cooker. 1 min Arrange meat in a single layer for even cooking.
3 Add the 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets, and 1 cup sliced zucchini rounds on top of the chicken. 2 min Keep vegetables uniform in size for consistent texture.
4 Pour the 1 cup chicken bone broth over the ingredients to create a steaming base. 1 min Using bone broth adds extra protein and keto-friendly nutrients.
5 Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat to ensure tender results. 6 hours Do not lift the lid during cooking to maintain heat.
6 Stir in the 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. 3 min Add dairy at the end to prevent curdling.
7 Fold in the 2 cups fresh baby spinach until just wilted. 2 min Use fresh, not frozen, spinach for the best texture.
8 Serve the dish in bowls immediately while hot. – Garnish with extra parmesan if desired.
