🇮🇹 Creamy, Comforting, and Full of Flavor

This one-pan creamy Tuscan chicken is a rich, restaurant-worthy dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. Made with juicy pan-seared chicken breasts, garlic, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and a velvety Parmesan cream sauce — it’s perfect over pasta, rice, or on its own with crusty bread.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1 cup baby spinach

• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced (packed in oil, drained)

• ¼ cup chicken broth (optional, for thinning the sauce)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same pan, melt the butter, then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning, stirring until the sauce begins to thicken (about 3–5 minutes). Thin with chicken broth if needed.

5. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts.

6. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then serve hot.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream sauce.
