Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Description
The recipe features pan-seared boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked until just done, then set aside while a flavorful sauce is prepared in the same skillet. The sauce blends heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese, simmered until slightly thickened. Adding chopped spinach and julienned sun-dried tomatoes introduces fresh and slightly tangy components, complementing the richness of the sauce.
The chicken is returned to the skillet to warm through before serving. The dish offers a creamy texture with tender chicken and a balance of savory, cheesy, and slightly acidic flavors from the sun-dried tomatoes. It's a comforting entrée suitable for serving over pasta, rice, or alongside vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless, thinly sliced

Instructions
