How to make Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Spinach and Sun-dried Tomatoes
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets, or pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Add fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts into the sauce.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the creamy sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve immediately, perhaps with pasta or crusty bread.
