Make this easy, restaurant-style Creamy Tuscan Chicken in one pan for a flavorful weeknight dinner. Tender chicken breasts simmer in a rich garlic parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken 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.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken slightly.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
  9. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to heat the chicken through. Serve immediately over pasta or rice, or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, draining them well before chopping.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the chicken back in.
  • This dish pairs well served over orzo or fettuccine pasta for a complete meal.
