A restaurant-quality creamy Tuscan chicken dish stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooked in a single pan for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally almost all the way through, then open them like a book.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.
  4. Season the inside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture. Close the chicken breasts around the filling.
  5. Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  9. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  12. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your skillet is oven-safe.
  • You can use pre-shredded mozzarella for convenience.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference.
