A quick and easy one-pan Tuscan chicken recipe featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Perfect for cozy dinners and fuss-free cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (medium-sized)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Optional: ¼ cup white wine

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside. (About 15 minutes total)
  3. Lower heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and optional white wine, scraping browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Slowly stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens and cheese melts.
  6. Add fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Return chicken to the pan, nestle into sauce, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning. Serve hot with extra sauce spooned over chicken.

Notes

If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen. Keep heat low when adding cream and cheese to prevent curdling. Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning chicken.
