Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Instructions

  Make sure to carefully follow each step of the instructions for the best results :

  1. Sear the chicken.
     Slice or pound the chicken so it cooks evenly, then season it with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Lightly coat each piece in flour, then sear in olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until golden on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate once it’s nearly cooked through.

  2. Build the sauce.
     In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer gently until it starts to thicken.

  3. Add the spinach.
     Stir the spinach into the skillet and let it wilt into the sauce. It only needs a minute or two to soften, and it adds freshness that balances the richness of the cream and cheese.

  4. Finish the chicken.
     Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is silky and slightly reduced.

  5. Serve warm.
     Take the skillet off the heat and serve the chicken with plenty of sauce over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or with vegetables on the side. A little extra Parmesan on top is always a good idea.
