Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve the Tuscan Style Chicken hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Pair with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
