Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  3. Add Cream and Spinach: Pour in the heavy cream, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Combine and Finish: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and heat through.
  5. Serve: Serve the Tuscan Garlic Chicken warm, spooning extra sauce over the top. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • Use fresh sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for a richer flavor.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
