A delightful dish combining tender chicken breasts with vibrant vegetables and a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce, and heat through for another minute.
- Finally, garnish the creamy Tuscan chicken with fresh basil before serving.
