Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet Recipe

Make Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet with clear steps, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are heated through.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow everything to heat together for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
