Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken

Mar 17, 2022

Yummmm!

This dish is Keto-friendly unless you put it over pasta. It tastes like something you would get at an upscale Italian restaurant. Everyone always wants me to share this recipe!

Ingredients:

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1 cup spinach chopped

1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes

Directions:

In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken, slice in strips, and set aside on a plate. (I have a fool-proof way to cook that chicken that always makes it tender. See the link below.).

Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt. Add the chicken back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired, or spaghetti squash if you’re on Keto (but is yummy without the pasta). Makes six servings.

    There are mushrooms in the picture. How would this be cooked to include mushrooms?

      Hi Kari, Good question. Sorry I missed your comment and did not respond right away! I didn’t include the mushrooms in the recipe as they are optional. My husband doesn’t like mushrooms (crazy guy!), but I love them. To add them to the recipe, I slice fresh mushrooms, sauté them lightly in a blend of butter and olive oil, and add them to the sauce when you add the spinach and sundried tomatoes. This is such a yummy recipe. I hope you like it.
