FRENCH CREAM CHICKEN Ingredients:
500g diced chicken thigh
110g block of French Onion Cream Cheese (I used White Valley brand) - see notes below in method
200ml cooking cream
60g baby spinach leaves
FRENCH CREAM CHICKEN Directions:
Brown/sear diced chicken well in searing slow cooker or pan
Add cream cheese and stir for 2-3mins as it melts to coat chicken with it
Add cooking cream and stir
Cover and use The Tea Towel Trick
Cook on HIGH for a further 1hr 15mins
Add spinach and stir through until wilted
FRENCH CREAM CHICKEN NOTES:
If you cannot source the French Onion flavoured cream cheese you could use regular Philadelphia cream cheese and mix with 20g French Onion soup mix
The cooking cream is important as it resists splitting like normal cream. I like the Bulla brand myself
Inspired by the recipe "Chicken with Semi-Dried Tomato & Spinach – LOW CARB"
FRENCH CREAM CHICKEN ALTERNATE VERSIONS:
This recipe can be easily changed simply by changing the flavour of the cream cheese. For example I now love a sweet chilli version that I make the same but just change the French onion creamed cheese to a sweet chilli flavoured cream cheese block instead
If you can't find sweet chilli cream then add 1/2 cup of sweet chilli sauce to your regular creamed cheese
You could also try the Chive and Onion cream cheese flavour or the Apricot Cream Cheese
I've also replaced the baby spinach with semi dried tomatoes for another yummy version
