Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Tuscan Chicken:
1. Season the Chicken: Begin by seasoning each chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for about 5-6 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Add Vegetables: Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Stir until the spinach is wilted.
7. Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning: Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the sauce. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet. Coat each piece with the creamy sauce and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
9. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy!
