Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Add fresh baby spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the creamy Tuscan chicken hot, spooning extra sauce over the top.
