Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Sun Dried Tomatoes

This recipe remake was inspired by Ahead of Thyme.

Ingredients - For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Ingredients - For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Zeal unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

  • 3 cups baby spinach

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes

  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

How to Make It

  1. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken breasts completely dry. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1-2 minutes. Add chicken and sear until golden brown, 6-8 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.

  3. In the same skillet, add butter and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, tomato paste, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Stir in spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the spinach has wilted about 1 minute.

  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some sauce over to coat. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce until the sauce has thickened to a desired consistency, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  6. Serve immediately with pasta, rice, or potatoes!
