Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet

Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet is a rich and comforting one-pan dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a garlic parmesan cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, add Italian seasoning, and bring to a simmer.
  5. Slowly stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes more.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best results.
  • Deglaze the skillet with broth after searing chicken to enhance flavor.
  • Double the sauce if serving with pasta or rice.
