This Creamiest Tuscan Chicken recipe features tender boneless chicken breasts cooked in a rich and flavorful creamy sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, spinach, and parmesan. Perfectly seared and then simmered in a luscious cream sauce, this easy stovetop dish offers a gourmet restaurant-quality meal in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

For the Sauce

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season chicken: Season both sides of each chicken breast evenly with Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to ensure full flavor penetration.
  2. Sear chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  3. Cook onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Cook tomatoes and garlic: Add the thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Add spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for about a minute until it just begins to wilt.
  6. Add cream and cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the mixture. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Simmer chicken: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes more until the chicken is cooked through and heated evenly.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for enhanced flavor and more tender texture.
  • Serve this dish with a side of pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, depending on the salinity of your parmesan cheese.
