Tuscan Chicken
Report
This Tuscan chicken is golden brown chicken breasts coated in a creamy parmesan, mushroom, sun dried tomato and spinach sauce. An easy dinner option that's quick enough to put together on a busy weeknight, yet elegant enough to serve to company.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs thin boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/3 cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan. Place the chicken on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- Melt the butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream to the pan. Whisk until well combined. Bring to a simmer. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese. Add the spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach has wilted.
- Turn off the heat. Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- I buy thin cut chicken breasts for this recipe. If your chicken breasts are thick, either increase the cook time or use a knife to cut them in half lengthwise.
