Description
A creamy, rich dish featuring bold flavors of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Create the sauce: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Use a spatula to scrape the browned bits from the pan, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add spinach and cheese: Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the spinach to wilt and the cheese to melt into the creamy mixture.
- Combine: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy your creamy Tuscan garlic chicken over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread for an extra delight.
