Creamy Tuscan Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish made with pan-seared chicken breasts, a creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes and spinach for added flavor and nutrition.


Ingredients (4 servings):

 

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 teaspoons salt (for the chicken)

1 teaspoon pepper (for the chicken)

1 tablespoon oil

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 onion, diced

1 tomato, diced

2 cups spinach (80 g)

2 cups heavy cream (480 mL)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (55 g)

2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Preparation:

 

  1. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 13 minutes to crisp up the skin. Move the chicken around from time to time to ensure it cooks evenly. The skin should be hard to the touch.
  4. Flip the chicken and cook for about another 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  5. Add the garlic and onion to the pan, stirring until the onions are translucent. Stir in the tomatoes and spinach until the spinach is wilted.
  6. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the pan, and bring to a boil.
  7. Add the Parmesan cheese and parsley to the pan, stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Place the chicken back in the pan, spooning the sauce on top of the chicken.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
