Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion Finely Chopped
- 3 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tsp Italian Herbs Dried
- 200 g cherry tomatoes Halved
- 150 g spinach Fresh
- 200 ml double cream
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese Grated
- salt and black pepper To taste
- basil leaves Fresh for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the double cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the creamy sauce over them, and let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
- Enjoy your creamy Tuscan chicken!
