Easy Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken delivers restaurant-worthy flavor with minimal effort. A silky garlic parmesan sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach transform juicy chicken breasts into an irresistible main course. Whether you need a quick weeknight dinner or a meal impressive enough for guests, this dish checks all the boxes for taste and simplicity.

Why This Tuscan Chicken Is a Go-To Favorite

What sets this recipe apart is its luxurious but approachable sauce: heavy cream, garlic, parmesan, and Italian seasonings meld seamlessly to cloak the chicken in velvety richness. Sun-dried tomatoes provide a tart contrast, while spinach adding freshness. Best of all, the entire meal comes together in under 30 minutes in a single skillet, making cleanup a breeze.

Essential Prep for Perfect Chicken

Start with even, tender chicken breasts for this recipe. Halve thick pieces or pound them to an even thickness for quick, uniform cooking. To make prep easier and safer, slice your chicken and vegetables on sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 — they stay in place, making slicing, dicing, and mincing a snap.

For perfectly diced onions and evenly sliced sun-dried tomatoes, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper drastically cuts down on prep time and ensures consistent veggie size for even sautéing.

Building the Creamy Tuscan Sauce

After browning the chicken, craft the signature Tuscan sauce right in the same skillet. Sauté garlic until aromatic, then add cream, parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes. Use a heat-proof spatula to scrape up the browned bits — these add rich, savory depth to your sauce. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning and a handful of spinach finish the sauce, creating beautiful color and balance.

A superior nonstick skillet, like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup effortless, even with this creamy sauce.

Serving and Storing Tuscan Garlic Chicken

Pair this creamy chicken with al dente pasta, fluffy rice, or crusty bread for sopping up every drop of sauce. If you need reliable meal prep, store individual portions in airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup). Refrigerated, they keep the chicken moist and the sauce luscious for up to 3 days.

Instructions

1. Pat chicken breasts dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. For quick, even prep, trim any excess fat using KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath, Black.
2. Heat olive oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high. Add chicken and sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate and cover loosely.
3. Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant (about 1 minute).
4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning, whisking to combine. Simmer for 2–3 minutes so the sauce slightly thickens.
5. Add baby spinach. Stir until it wilts into the sauce, about 1 minute.
6. Return chicken and any juices to the skillet. Spoon sauce over chicken, reduce heat to low, and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until everything is heated through.
7. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately, alongside your favorite pasta, rice, or a fresh salad in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green for meal prep.
