Create restaurant-quality Creamy Tuscan Chicken in one pan in under 35 minutes. This recipe delivers tender chicken breasts in a rich, garlicky Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  6. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken. This creates your incredible creamy sauce.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts down, about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken warm through in the sauce for 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately over pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up the rich sauce.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use the oil drained from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes instead of plain olive oil for searing the chicken.
  • If you want a tangier sauce, add 1 tablespoon of dry white wine to the pan after searing the chicken and let it reduce before adding the chicken broth.
  • This skillet Tuscan chicken pairs well served with crusty bread for dipping.
