As a busy mama, I’m always on the lookout for meals that check all the right boxes delicious, nourishing, and easy to throw together. That’s why I love this Slow Cooker Artichoke Chicken Pasta. It’s creamy, packed with protein and veggies, and best of all, the slow cooker does most of the work for you.
If you’re someone who wants to feed your family wholesome, from-scratch meals without spending hours in the kitchen, this recipe is for you. The combination of tender chicken, nutrient-dense spinach, and creamy sauce makes it feel indulgent, but it’s made with real, nourishing ingredients.
But the best part? It even won over my artichoke-hating husband.
Let me set the scene. My husband is not a fan of artichokes. If I even mention them, he wrinkles his nose. But I was determined to make this dish because, let’s be honest, I love artichokes, and I knew the creamy, cheesy sauce would make them irresistible.
I just served it up, watching carefully as he took his first bite. Then another. And another. Before I knew it, his plate was clean, and he looked at me & then had seconds! That’s when I knew this recipe was a keeper. Even the most skeptical eaters in your house will fall in love with it.
