Creamy Tuscan Chicken

This Creamy Tuscan Chicken recipe turns simple chicken breasts into a wow-factor weeknight dinner. Quick, easy, and, most importantly, not boring, this Italian-inspired recipe produces juicy chicken and gorgeous, luscious sauce. A classic comfort food dinner made easy in one pan. Serve with crusty bread so you can mop up the extra sauce.

The chicken breasts are pan-seared until golden and then finished in a creamy pan sauce. The sauce is super simple yet so flavorful. It’s amped up with garlic, tomatoes, baby spinach, and Parmesan cheese. The sauce is buttery, a little garlicky, cheesy, and very creamy, thanks to the heavy cream. It’s the perfect pairing to a pan-seared chicken breast. Serve with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over, and enjoy!

To make the Creamy Tuscan Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Creamy Tuscan Chicken

1	Pan-sear chicken	15
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season with salt and black pepper to taste, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook for about 8 minutes per side or until golden and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2	Melt butter and cook garlic	1
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3	Add tomatoes	2
Then, add 1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst.
4	Add spinach	2
Add 3 cups baby spinach and cook until the spinach starts to wilt.
5	Add heavy cream and Parmesan	3
Stir in ½ cup heavy cream and ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes.
6	Return chicken to skillet	5
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, 5 minutes.
7	Serve
Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
