Make this restaurant-style Creamy Tuscan Chicken tonight. Juicy pan-seared chicken breasts cook quickly in a rich, garlicky Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. This easy dinner is ready in under 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 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
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  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 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken broth and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the Parmesan cream sauce.

Notes

  • For a low carb or Keto Creamy Tuscan Chicken option, skip serving with pasta and serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
  • To make this a One Pan Tuscan Chicken, you can finish the chicken in the oven after searing if your skillet is oven-safe.
