Make this restaurant-style Creamy Tuscan Chicken in one pan for an easy, flavorful weeknight dinner. Juicy chicken breasts cook in a rich garlic parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional, for deglazing)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts 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.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. If using, pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce slightly for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and continue to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  8. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, stirring until it wilts completely, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  10. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
  11. Serve immediately. This is a great comfort food chicken recipe.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, let the cream simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the cheese.
  • If you skip the white wine, use a splash more chicken broth when deglazing the pan.
  • Serve this flavorful cream sauce chicken over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
