Creamy Tuscan Chicken Recipe
A quick weeknight meal with rich, creamy sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and basil that transforms any dinner into a special occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken Breasts, sliced lengthwise
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Heavy/Whipping Cream
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
- 0.25 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil, chopped
- To taste Salt & Pepper
- For dredging Flour
- 0.25 cup Chicken Broth or Dry White Wine
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise for thinner pieces. Season each piece with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Coat the seasoned chicken in flour. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and Dijon mustard, stirring to scrape up any stuck bits. Let it simmer for a minute or two.
- Add the heavy cream, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Stir well, then return the chicken to the skillet.
- Cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the chopped basil and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for best texture, don't skip flour dredging for a proper crust, and let sauce simmer longer for thickness.
