Creamy Tuscan Chicken
This creamy Tuscan chicken recipe is a dinner winner! Seared Italian chicken simmers in a rich and creamy, spinach and sun-dried tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 tsp Italian Herbs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil (I use Butter)
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Brown Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes thinly sliced
- 2 Cups Baby Spinach
- 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
- 1 tsp Sweet Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
- Cook the onions. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, Paprika and garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the spinach, and saute another minute, until just starting to wilt.
- Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.
- Let it simmer. Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Notes
Juicy chicken breasts are seasoned with Italian spices and seared until golden, then simmered in the most luxurious cream sauce filled with parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, onions and plenty of spinach.
