Make this rich, flavorful Tuscan chicken in one pan for a quick weeknight dinner that tastes like it came from a restaurant.

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 heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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 5-7 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 chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, stirring until it wilts completely, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer uncovered for an extra minute before adding the cream.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
  • For a brighter flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce at the end.
