Ingredients
  

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ¼ cup Yellow Onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 cup Baby Spinach
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • ¼ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Season and Sear the Chicken
    First, pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps them develop a beautiful golden crust. Next, season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Aromatics
    Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and chopped onions. Stir frequently, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. The kitchen will smell amazing at this point!
  • Add the Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach
    Next, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Let them cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing them to release their sweet and tangy flavors. Then, add the baby spinach. Stir until it wilts completely, about 1 minute.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce
    Now, pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine all the flavors. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens. Sprinkle in the freshly grated parmesan and stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Bring It All Together
    Finally, return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and let everything simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up all the flavors. Once the sauce is thick and the chicken is fully cooked, it’s ready to serve!

Notes

Want to take your Tuscan Chicken Recipe to the next level? Here are some easy tips and tricks!
  • For Extra Creaminess: Let the sauce simmer a little longer before adding the chicken back in. This helps thicken it up naturally.
  • Lighten It Up: Swap out the heavy cream for a dairy-free option like coconut cream or cashew milk for a lighter version.
  • Boost the Flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat!
  • Make It Ahead: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat to maintain creaminess.
