Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper before browning on all sides for about 4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add chopped onions to the skillet; sauté until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
Return the chicken to the skillet, then pour in chicken broth. Add Dijon mustard and smoked paprika; stir gently.
Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
In the last half hour of cooking, whisk together sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth; fold into the slow cooker along with spinach.
Cook until spinach wilts down (about 30 minutes). Serve over rice or noodles.
