Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cups fresh spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken pieces and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
Step 7: Turn off the heat. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese over the top before serving hot.

Tips & Variations

Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier texture and deeper flavor.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Storage

Store leftover Tuscan chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of cream or milk if needed to loosen the sauce.

FAQs

Can I freeze Creamy Tuscan Chicken?

Yes, you can freeze it. Place the cooled chicken and sauce in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes?

You can, but sun-dried tomatoes provide a sweet-tart intensity that fresh tomatoes don’t. If using fresh, consider roasting them first to concentrate the flavor.
