Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, which will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat each piece evenly.
- Serve hot: Plate the creamy Tuscan chicken and enjoy it with your favorite side dish.
Notes
Using fresh ingredients enhances the flavor; for a lighter option, substitute sun-dried tomatoes with fresh tomatoes.
