Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Stir in heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the Tuscan Style Chicken hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Pair with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
