Equipment
- 1 Large skillet
- 1 Wooden spoon
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir to combine and cook until the spinach is wilted.
Combine and Serve
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let simmer for a few more minutes to fully incorporate the flavors.
- Serve the creamy Tuscan chicken hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat to preserve the sauce's creamy texture.
Notes
Pro Tips: For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer to reduce to your desired consistency. Ingredient Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for a juicier result. How to Serve: This dish pairs well with a light salad or pasta. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the sauce and chicken separately, then combine and reheat before serving.
