Low carb Crock Pot recipes are great for so many occasions. Too busy to make dinner? Use the slow cooker. Too hot to turn on the oven? Use the slow cooker. Out and about all day? Use the slow cooker. And, this creamy Tuscan garlic chicken recipe is one of my new favorite things to make in mine!
This particular Crock Pot Tuscan chicken recipe actually came about in the first months after my daughter started daycare. Let’s just say we were not winning the influx of endless respiratory viruses she kept bringing home.
I tried dozens of supplements, but one of them surprised me – Clear Lungs from RidgeCrest Herbals. It wasn’t even necessarily something I thought I needed, until I tried it and felt like I took a breath of fresh air right inside my house. It was such an amazing feeling. In fact, I’m continuing to take it even when I’m not sick.
Then I wondered, what foods can I eat to support my lungs? It’s one of those things we don’t think about day to day, but something we literally cannot live without. And if you know me, you know I believe food is medicine. (Disclaimer: Just to be clear, please don’t take anything I say as medical advice!)
Benefits of Garlic
It turns out, garlic is one of those foods that has incredible benefits for the lungs. A study even found it to reduce the risk of lung cancer. Not to mention that it can help lower cholesterol levels, reduce overall cancer risk, and blood sugar control. It also has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. *, *
Let’s just say this is all great news for me as a big garlic lover! Some of my favorite garlic recipes are roasted cabbage steaks, garlic parmesan broccoli and cauliflower, and definitely anything I can enjoy with garlic butter, like filet mignon.
When we started getting sick more often over these last few months, it was the perfect excuse to create more garlic recipes. Granted, nothing beats the amazing qualities of raw garlic, but using it cooked in recipes in the next best thing. And, this creamy Tuscan garlic chicken with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes is right up there with the best!
How To Make Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Spinach
The steps for how to make creamy Tuscan garlic chicken in the slow cooker are super simple. The Crock Pot does most of the work for you! Here are the basic parts:
Make the creamy Tuscan garlic chicken sauce
The only thing you really need to do that is hands-on is make the sauce for the creamy Tuscan chicken.
Saute the garlic (our star!) in a little oil, then add the chicken broth and cream. Simmer to thicken the sauce a bit. It will still be fairly thin at this point, but will coat the back of a spoon.
Once this happens, reduce heat so that the sauce doesn’t simmer, but is still over very low heat. Whisk in the parmesan cheese slowly. Do it about 1/4 cup at a time, making sure it melts before adding more. Keep going until it’s smooth. It should look like this:
Cook the Tuscan chicken in the Crock Pot
You can prepare the other parts of the Tuscan garlic chicken recipe while the sauce simmers. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, then season with sea salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top.
Pour the sauce over the chicken. Try to get as much as possible onto the chicken and not the bottom, because what’s on top will stick really well as it cooks and impart even more flavor.
Turn on the heat, and cook the Crock Pot Tuscan garlic chicken for 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low.
Add the spinach
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. We do this so that it’s easier to mix in the spinach into the liquid that remains behind.
With the slow cooker on High, add the spinach and stir for a few minutes, until wilted. The spinach essentially cooks in the residual heat.
Serve the Crock Pot Tuscan garlic chicken
You can return the chicken to the Crock Pot to keep warm if not serving immediately. Spoon the spinach and liquid over it, too.
When you’re ready to serve the Tuscan garlic chicken, transfer it to plates and top with the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and more liquid from the slow cooker. It will be so juicy!
Tips for the Perfect Crock Pot Tuscan Chicken Recipe
I picked up a few tips along the way when I created this creamy Tuscan garlic chicken recipe. Take a look so that yours is perfect every time:
- Make sure the sauce is the right thickness. Check the picture above to see how it should be – definitely thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but still easy to pour. You can thin it out with cream if it’s too thick, or whisk in more parmesan cheese if it’s too thin.
- Save time by making the sauce ahead. Crock Pot Tuscan chicken is already a time saving recipe, but if you want to make it even more quick the day-of, you can make the sauce ahead of time. Simply store it in the fridge, then heat and thin out as needed before pouring it over the chicken.
- Prioritize the chicken when pouring the sauce. You want more of it on the chicken and less on the bottom of the Crock Pot. This way, you’ll end up with more sauce sticking to the chicken and the meat will be more juicy. Plus, the part on top of the chicken stays thicker.
- Watch the spinach carefully at the end. It wilts fast! Just don’t let it slow cook the whole time with the creamy Tuscan garlic chicken, because it will turn to mush. The spinach has to go in only at the end.
- Pile the toppings high and drizzle with more sauce. When you’re ready to serve, don’t forget to place the toppings from the bottom of the Crock Pot onto the Tuscan garlic chicken on the plate. Drizzle more of the sauce over the chicken for extra juicy deliciousness, too.
Enjoy the benefits of garlic for your lungs in the most delicious way ever – and for even more support, grab a bottle of Clear Lungs from RidgeCrest Herbals.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
Add the cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then set heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. The sauce will still be thin, but thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Meanwhile, place the chicken at the bottom of a slow cooker. Season lightly with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Top with sun-dried tomatoes.
When the sauce is ready, keep it at low heat, but not simmering. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup at a time, until smooth. Adjust salt to taste if desired.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Try to get as much sauce as possible on top of the chicken and less on the bottom.
Cook for 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. The sauce in the slow cooker will be thin due to liquid released by the chicken, but the top of the chicken will have a layer of sauce that sticks to it.
Turn the slow cooker on High, if it isn't already. Add the chopped spinach and stir for a few minutes, until the spinach wilts.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker, and spoon the liquid, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes on top, or just pour them over the chicken to serve.

Beth
Great recipe! My guys loved it …me too!!
Courtney
Could you use chicken thighs instead?? Hmm
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Courtney, Yes! This recipe will be great with thighs.
Caroline Erez
Hi Maya, the recipe looks delicious but we need to avoid dairy over here. What do you think would be the best substitution – canned coconut milk maybe? Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Caroline, Yes, you can replace the heavy cream with canned coconut cream instead. However, the recipe also contains parmesan cheese. The sauce would not be as thick and the flavor would be different without it. You could try nutritional yeast as a replacement but have not tried it so can’t confirm the amount or how it would turn out.
Shelley
My stove isn’t working how do you suggest I make this without use of the stove beforehand? I bought all the ingredients the other day already and don’t want them going bad!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Shelley, Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about your stove. I think you can do this completely in a crock pot, although the sauce may not get as thick as it would on the stove. Set the crockpot to high and assemble the sauce ingredients in the vessel. You won’t be able to sauté the garlic like you would on the stovetop, so adjust the amount according to your taste. Whisk your sauce until it starts to thicken and then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
Sarah
I substituted the sun dried tomatoes for diced Roma tomatoes and the heavy cream for hand n half (it’s what I had on had) so those substitutions may influence my rating. The flavor was good however my chicken was dry, like it was missing some creaminess. The recipe itself was extremely easy to make, which is wonderful if you don’t have a of time!
I will make this again and use heavy cream instead of half n half like I did and see if that makes my difference.
Anne
Can you make this recipe (creamy Tuscon Garlic Chickin) in the instant pot?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Anne, Yes! Use the ‘Saute’ function to cook the garlic and prepare the sauce. Proceed with the recipe as written with the slow cooker instructions. Enjoy!
Pamela Anne
Wow! I just made it tonight. Because of the lockdown, I didn’t want to make a trip to the store, so I used what I had, but this is a keeper and will follow it exactly next time.
There’s only 2 of us, so I halved the recipe and used my 4 qt crock. The white sauce is fabulous. My chicken breasts are huge as I buy from the Amish, but they were the most moist and tender I have ever made… I didn’t have the Parmesan grated but I did have the shredded and followed the directions to add just a small amount at a time to let it blend. I didn’t have fresh spinach, only frozen chopped kale. About 10 min before serving I put less than 1/2 c. in mostly for color. I did have about 1/2 c of sauteed mushrooms so I added those, which were great. The sauce, of course, mixes with the juices from the chicken, so yes, it’s “runny” as another commenter noted but it was delicious. I’m going to make this for company. I will make 1/2 the sauce for the crock to cook in and another 1/2 to spoon over the chicken when I serve it because it is so outstanding. So blessed to have found this site! BTW, my husband RAVED and said twice, you can make this again!
Joni Ryman
This was a wonderful dish!!!! I felt like a restaurant chef! I’m trying to think who to invite over for dinner so I can make it for someone! Loved it! Thank you, Joni
Stacy
Thought it tasted very good, although I added a brick of cream cheese to it, and to me, it really elevated the flavors and made the sauce a bit thicker & creamier. Will make again – thank you!
Charlynn Herman
How do you convert this to pressure cooker?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Charlynn, Use the pressure cooker to cook the chicken first. Then assemble the sauce and add it to the cooked chicken. Let the chicken and sauce simmer together on low for about 10 minutes, then add the spinach. Let the spinach wilt, then finish as described in the recipe.
Maritza Russo
I feel like I need to preface this by saying I am one of those people that never leave comments but this recipe deserves one. I made this as I’ve been on the keto diet for some time now and always looking for new chicken recipes. I made this recipe now probably 7 times now and my husband/family can’t get enough of it. It’s a weekly staple at this point. Followed the directions with one minor change, I use marinated roasted tomatoes I find from my local Wegmans prob 1-1/12 cups total in lieu of the sun dried tomatoes and also use lemon garlic marinated chicken breasts also from Wegmans. *I should work there I promote them so much. In the instant pot I’ve tried both high for 4 and low for 7 and equally turn out AMAZING. I can drink the sauce, the house smells of amazing garlic and it’s low carb what’s not to love. This is the epitome of “winner winner chicken dinner”
Erica
Can you use frozen chicken breast with this recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Erica, It is best to thaw your chicken before putting it in the slow cooker.
Jackie Merlino
I need to make this for a group of about 12 people, Would I just double or triple everythng?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jackie, The recipe as written serves 4, so I would triple the recipe. Enjoy!
Kelli
I was disappointed. Followed the recipe exactly, did the slow cooker on high for 3.5 hours, the edges were gross and black. The whole thing just tasted like slightly burnt milk and sun dried tomatoes. I hate to waste food, so it will get eaten, just not sure what i can do with it to minimize the taste. Maybe i can make nachos or something with it.
**it smelled good and i think if it was done in the oven in a casserole dish it might be a keeper.
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Kelli, so sorry to hear that. Some slow cookers run hotter than others, so it’s possible yours got overcooked.
Heather Vickery
Hello Maya I have made this Tuscan chicken twice and loved it is a favourite in my family
thank you for your recipes and the downloads
I made this dish in a skillet just cooked the chicken first was great looking forward to trying more of your recipes
Pollyanna
How do I print recipe easily
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Pollyanna, There is a ‘Print It’ button located in the recipe card. I hope this helps!
Erika
My husband is on the optimist (once called medifast) diet, which is low carb and low sugar. I have been making the medifast version of this recipe and it is one of our favorites. It is a similar recipe with the biggest difference being plain yogurt instead of the cream. I double the 1/2 cup of yogurt and use a full cup, and I am very liberal with the sun dried tomatoes. I’m cooking this recipe in the slow cooker right now and can’t wait to try it! Thank you for the recipe, I have been wondering how it would turn out in the slow cooker!
Sandra Cail
You sent me a recipe for Creamy Tuscon Garlic Chicken and we tried it that night. It was very easy and delicious. Every recipe we have tried of yours are really good and easy as well. Thank you for share with us.
George Suematsu
Tasty, but too much work for a crock pot meal.
Johanna
Can I use cherry tomatoes instead of sun dried?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Johanna, you can do that. The flavor will be slightly different and the consistency may be a little more watery.
Ann-Marie Cunniff
Can this recipe be used in the Instant Pot?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Ann-Marie, I haven’t tried that but it could definitely work! Let me know if you give it a shot.
Debby
Yes it can it will be ready quickly, thats all. That’s the beauty with an Instant Pot!
Amy Peffley
This was an amazing recipe! My family loved it! Highly recommend!
Christine Rubino
I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I have made this 3 times it is amazing!
Alysa
Hello! Quick question: Where do the 9 carbs come from? Obviously the cheese, maybe the tomato? I don’t quite understand where the 9 carbs per serving is. If i missed it in your original post – I apologize!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Alysa, The carbs come from the sun-dried tomatoes, cheese, cream, and spinach.
Annita
What size package of spinach do you recommend using for the two cups of chopped?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Annita, a smaller bag of spinach (6 ounces) should give you more than enough for the recipe.
Nancy
I just had this for dinner. It’s so fabulous! Very easy, too. Thank you!
Jackie
Liked it was using a slow cooker. Finish dish the chicken was dry to my taste. I might have cooked the chicken too long. Not the recipe’s fault. May try again.
Mary
Excellent low carb meal that tastes amazing!!!
Trish
Great flavor! Like a few others have said next time I will double the sauce. My slow cooker seems to cook fast so even on slow it was ready in less than 5 hours. The chicken was so tender it fell apart when I was trying to remove so I simply shredded after adding the spinach. Will definitely make this again!
Kalie Marsch
Hi! I am soooo excited to make this recipe. Thanks for sharing! Quick question – my chicken seems to always be dry when I cook it in my slow cooker. Any tips on how to ensure this time around the chicken is moist, specially since it won’t necessarily be sitting in a liquid per se the entire time it cooks? Thanks in advance!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kalie, It sounds like you’re cooking the chicken for too long if it’s dry. Normally slow cooker chicken is very moist. Follow the time in the recipe and it won’t be dry.
Shon
Thanks for the recipe. Loved the flavors. I will double the sauce next time.
Sarah
Winner winner, crockpot chicken dinner! This was a hit with the entire family. including the kids. Props to you!
Beth Pierce
So flavorful! Thanks for this scrumptious recipe!
Lexi
Tasty!! I made this tonight for dinner. Super easy. My parents are very picky eaters and they loved it!! I doubled the recipe, used both chicken breasts and boneless chicken thighs. I did not put spinach but next time might want to try it with English peas.
Brandi
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I am on a keto diet and it has been hard to find time to make a lot of the dishes. This is simple to make and VERY TASTY!!!!
Rebecca
Hi Maya! I can’t wait to try this one out. I have an Instant Pot though and no slow cooker. How would you adjust, do you think?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rebecca, I haven’t tested it in an Instant Pot. You can definitely follow the same instructions as the slow cooker by simply using the Instant Pot’s slow cooker setting. Otherwise it would need some experimentation to pressure cook.
Fiona
There is no Chicken in the ingredient list. As this is what people tend to shop from can you please add it to recipes?
Trying this one tonight
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Fiona, Chicken breast is already in the ingredient list – it’s the 6th item. Ingredients are listed in the order they are used in the recipe. Hope you liked it!
Mindy Santosuosso
I didn’t have the prep time so I had to change it up a bit. I sautéed the oil and (jarred pre-minced) garlic along with some broccoli and portabella mushrooms. Then I threw it all in the crockpot. I used a romano-parmesan cheese blend (because that’s what I had) & didn’t measure the cheese, or the salt and pepper. Once near done, I shredded the chicken into large pieces. I totally forgot about the spinach. I ate it straight and put the hubs over some pasta. It was a win, win. Will be making this one again!
Justine
Omg! This is so delicious and easy to make. I added mushrooms as well. The alfredo recipe is so easy and better than restaurants ♡ Thank you!
Carla
Loved it! Thank you. Husband says he hopes I will make this again. He is diabetic.
Ozie Mae Johnson
This recipe is fantastic! Healthy, flavorful and colorful. The chicken was so tender. My house smelled amazing all day.
Clara
I made this, ohhh so yummy!! Thank you for sharing
Courtney
This was so good and easy to make! Definitely a keeper!
Sandi Moskowitz
When I saw this recipe I decided it was time to buy a simple slow cooker. My Crock-Pot arrived Thursday night. We had Tuscan Chicken on Friday. Wow. It was awesome. Thanks so much for the wonderfully tasty recipe. Looking forward to making more deliciousness with my new Crock-Pot.
Teri
I absolutely love your recipes and have a homemade keto recipe binder FULL of them. My question to you is where do you find chicken breasts that are 6 ounces? I really don’t pay much attention to the size because honestly I don’t eat that much meat. My husband eats most of it, and we keep some leftovers. However I just opened a packaged of chicken from Costco that was part of a larger multipack. It had two breasts and weighed in at 24 ounces. So each breast was DOUBLE in size what the recipe called for – not a problem at all, I simply cut them down but I would not have called them large in comparison to other packaged chicken breasts I have seen. Any way love the recipe just wondered about the breast size! Keep up the amazing work I’m a huge (mostly silent) fan.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Teri, I’m so glad you like the recipes! The size of chicken breasts will vary from brand to brand. It’s not really a big issue as you can cut them down like you said. 🙂
Judy
One of our favorite dinners. My husband doesn’t know low carb from low tide but he knows what tastes good. This is more than good, it’s delicious and easy.
Jenn
I followed all instructions to a “T” and was disappointed. Perhaps I thought this would be creamy (like creamed spinach). I cooked 3:15 on high. I had one piece of chicken left over (tossed the sauce) and it was actually better reheated. I think cooking the chicken with SD tomatoes and chicken stock would be better, then add the sauce and spinach once it’s cooked.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jenn, Sorry it wasn’t what you were expecting. This definitely has some liquid by nature of cooking in the slow cooker, though it should be creamy too. Feel free to change up the order of cooking the sauce – I did it this way to make it the fastest and “hands off” so that it’s just ready in the slow cooker at dinner time.
Chuck VanPatten
I tried this recipe. While the sauce absolutely rocked, the chicken was overdone and dry. I used 6oz. boneless breasts and cooked on low for less time than directed. Should I be using bone-in breasts? Skin on or off? The photos appear to be boneless breasts. Also, I’m wondering how the sauce would be on fish, especially swordfish steak? Anyone tried that? Thanks. CVP
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Chuck, I’m glad you liked the sauce – yes, you can use it on fish, though I haven’t tried it. It’s possible that your slow cooker temperature runs hotter than mine and it needs less time, so you could try reducing it next time. I did use boneless skinless chicken breasts.
ALISON BORELLI
Made this for dinner last night — soooooo good. My hubby is leery of garlic and saw me mincing away 6 cloves of garlic…and he thought it was fabulous. So easy to make. Paired it with a low carb cheesy bread. Very satisfying. Will become a regular part of our food rotation.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Alison! Have a great day!
Antissia LeMalle
If you don’t have the tomatoes on hand can they be omitted? Also I’m not a big spinach eater but my daughter loves. I have eaten a spinach dip does this kind of have that same kind of taste?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Antissia, Yes, you can omit the tomatoes if you’d like. It’s different from spinach dip since that’s typically sour cream or cream cheese based.
Serenity Simpson
This was so delicious! I am thinking of making it for guests since it is also simple to make! Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Serenity! Thanks for stopping by!
Tricia
WOW! I made this tonight and my family said it was hands down, possibly the best chicken dish they have ever had, better than an Italian restaurant!!! Thank you so much for the recipe and I will definitely try more 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love to hear that, Tricia! Thanks for stopping by!
J-Man
I made prepared this recipe and cooked it overnight in a crockpot. The only thing I added was a 1/2 cup of white wine in the sauce, which it probably didn’t need. I tasted the sauce and a little piece of chicken before going to work, and now I cannot wait for lunchtime. I also shared it with my sisters.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it! And good for you for sharing with your sisters! 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Kerstin Kobetitsch
Sounds great. How would make this like in an oven? I don’t own a slow cooker, but do have some time to cook. Ingredients are the same. Most instructions are the same. At what oven temp? And for how long? Like in a baking dish covered with tin foil, or Corningware with a lid.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kerstin, I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure you can make it in the oven. I’d try at 350 degrees, but without trying it can’t say for sure how long the baking time would be. Please let me know how it goes if you try!
Denise
Maya,
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made it exactly as directed it was amazing.
I used the instant pot but used (slow cooker) as directed in the book.
I will definitely be making this again
Thanks again,
Denise
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Denise! Thanks for stopping by!
Roz Thomason
What do you suggest serving with this entree?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Roz, In the summer I like a simple green salad, or zucchini noodles. You can find a full index of low carb side dishes here.
Melanie Custer
I did it on the stove top. Browned the chicken with very little olive oil. Set the chicken aside. Combined all the other ingredients and then added the chicken to yhe pan and simmered till it was the consistency I want. Yummy yummy. Hubby even liked it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you and your husband liked it, Melanie!
Kerstin Kobetitsch
That sounds delicious… I will try that.
Cristina Monteiro
I’m doing something similar. I browned the chicken sns set aside in a pyrex, then made the sauce, added it on top ans added sun-dried tomatoes. Once it bakes for about 10 minutes, im going to add the chopped spinach, ans cook another 5-10.
Stacy
I just made the tuscan chicken recipe in the cookbook and didn’t love it. Looking forward to trying this one.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hope you like this one, Stacy! Not sure which cookbook recipe you tried, but this one is not in any cookbook so would be different from what you tried.
Denise
This looks absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try it out.
Thank you for sharing.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Denise! Hope you like it.
Mary Feldmann
I have been looking for low carb dishes that were appealing and tasty. Finally, I have found you. Thank you so much. After bariatric surgery, this is the kind of meal I need.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Mary! I’m glad the recipes are helpful.
Marcia & James Beebe
Hi Maya,
This looks good, but I eat turkey instead of chicken.
Would the timing or ingredients change, if I used turkey breast to make this dish?
Thank you,
Marcia
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Marcia, Yes, you can make it with turkey. I haven’t tested it, but should work fine toward the upper end of the time range.
Lori Parker-Gurule
This sounds fabulous! I am going to use chicken thighs, so maybe 8? Also I would like to use my instant pot instead. Any tips?
Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Lori! Yes, I’d probably use about 8 chicken thighs. I haven’t tried it in the Instant Pot yet. I’m not sure how well it would work, as I’ve heard some recommendations against cooking dairy under pressure. I can’t say for sure, though. Please let me know how it goes if you try!
Tatum
I got the email today. It’s in the slow cooker now. The house smells fantastic! Can’t wait to taste it!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yay, so happy you tried it right away! Let me know how you liked it!
Tatum
It was a hit! I was short on sun dried tomatoes so I threw in some artichoke hearts to keep with the Tuscan theme. I also have kale coming out of my ears so used that instead of the spinach and it was delicious!!! Definitely going to make it again.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Awesome! Artichokes and kale sound delicious, too.
Ken
Why do your recipes appear as a pop-up?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ken, I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean they open in a new window? If so, this is a setting on the platform you’re coming from. For example, Facebook or Pinterest will usually open links in a new window. It’s not specific to my site. Hope this helps.
Wendi
Yummy! And so easy! Thank you for the recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You’re so welcome, Wendi!
