Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden (optional but adds flavor).
Add to Crockpot: Place the seared chicken into the Crockpot. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, thyme, and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and shreddable.
Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot.
Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes if desired.
Serve: Stir everything together, adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed, and ladle the soup into bowls. Serve warm

Notes

You can swap chicken breasts for thighs for more tenderness and a richer flavor.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and skip the Parmesan.
Add extra vegetables like carrots, peas, or zucchini for more texture and nutrition.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños
