Make this rich, flavorful Creamy Tuscan Chicken in one skillet in under 35 minutes. This recipe features juicy chicken breasts simmered in a velvety garlic Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 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 hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  10. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, 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 tangier sauce, add 1 tablespoon of white wine to the pan after cooking the garlic, letting it reduce before adding the chicken broth.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
