Creamy Tuscan Chicken is a rich and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a luscious sauce made with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Italian seasoning. This skillet-cooked meal offers a perfect blend of creamy textures and savory herbs, ideal for serving alongside pasta or crusty bread.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a few minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  3. Combine: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Let it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and meld flavors.
  4. Serve: Plate the creamy Tuscan chicken and serve immediately with your choice of pasta or crusty bread, perfect for soaking up the delicious, flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a different leafy green option.
  • Using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil will add more flavor and richness to the sauce.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is recommended for best flavor.
