Make this easy, one-pan Creamy Tuscan Chicken for a flavorful weeknight dinner. Juicy chicken breasts cook 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 dried Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 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 sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Add the butter on top of the chicken.
  9. Simmer for 2 more minutes to heat the chicken through. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For a restaurant style dinner, serve this Italian chicken skillet over pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up the garlic Parmesan cream sauce.
  • If you want a low carb Tuscan dinner, skip the pasta and serve this over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
