Make this rich, flavorful, and creamy Tuscan chicken in one skillet in about 30 minutes. This recipe features chicken breasts cooked in a garlic cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, stirring until it wilts down completely.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  10. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, skip serving with pasta or rice and serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce will be less thick.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
