A rich and creamy Tuscan chicken dish made with tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh herbs, and parmesan in a savory cream sauce. Perfect served over pasta, rice, or potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless chicken pieces (breasts or thighs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 4–5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for another 1–2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add spinach, basil, and parmesan cheese, stirring until combined.
  5. Once the greens are wilted, return the chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Chicken thighs provide more flavor, while breasts are leaner.
  • Adjust thickness of the sauce by adding more or less water.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently to prevent the cream sauce from separating.
