Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken Recipe

Ingredients for Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

    • Preparation Steps

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. This step ensures the chicken is flavorful from the first bite. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side. They should be golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    Make the Creamy Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach is wilted. This adds a wonderful texture and color to the dish.

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through and well coated with the sauce.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve the creamy garlic Tuscan chicken over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish pairs well with a light salad or steamed vegetables.

    Enjoy your creamy and juicy dinner!
