Tuscan Chicken
Tuscan chicken is a classic Italian dish made with chicken, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and a creamy Parmesan sauce! It is a comforting and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Your whole family will love it!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each chicken breast in white whole wheat flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side until they are browned and fully cooked. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried thyme to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the spinach to wilt.
- Then, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Finally, serve the Tuscan Chicken hot. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
