Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
In the slow cooker, place the seared chicken breasts and pour the garlic-lemon broth over them. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach on top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once done, remove the chicken and stir the spinach and tomatoes into the sauce. Serve the chicken drizzled with the zesty sauce and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
