Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes, julienned
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any flavorful bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Add the sundried tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the sauce. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Step 8
Add the baby spinach to the skillet, stirring gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
Step 9
Serve the Tuscan chicken warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Pair with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
