A delicious and healthy Tuscan chicken recipe featuring spinach and garlic. Perfect for a high protein, low carb dinner.
Equipment
- 1 Large skillet non-stick recommended
- 1 Mixing Bowl medium size
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
- Pour in chicken broth and almond milk. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Let cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, adding Parmesan cheese. Let simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
Notes
Pro Tips: For a deeper flavor, use bone-in chicken thighs. Ingredient Substitutions: Coconut milk can replace almond milk for a creamier sauce. How to Serve: Pair with a simple salad or roasted vegetables. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the sauce in advance and store separately; combine with chicken when ready to serve.
