Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Print Recipe

A comforting dish featuring tender chicken in a creamy, garlicky sauce with cherry tomatoes and spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and oregano before adding them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, around 8 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and let them burst. Then, add the baby spinach and stir until it wilts.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 3 minutes. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and warm through for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, use skinless chicken thighs and substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
