Make this rich and flavorful Creamy Tuscan Chicken in one skillet in 30 minutes. It features tender chicken breasts in a velvety Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the 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, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  10. Heat through for 1 minute. Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this dish over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of pasta.
  • If you want a richer sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but expect a slightly thinner consistency.
  • You can substitute dried herbs for fresh herbs if needed, but adjust the quantity.
