A quick and easy creamy Tuscan chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, perfect for weeknight dinners and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil)
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (120 ml)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken breasts and cook 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, sauté minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the pan. Stir gently, scraping up brown bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken breasts to the pan, nestle into the sauce, spoon sauce over top, and simmer on low for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. If sauce is too thin, simmer a bit longer.
  8. Serve hot with sauce spooned over the chicken. Pairs well with crusty bread, pasta, or rice.

Notes

Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for best flavor. Wilt spinach gently at the end to avoid mushiness. If sauce thickens too quickly, add a splash of broth or cream and lower heat. For dairy-free, substitute cream with coconut milk and Parmesan with nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese.
