Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 3 garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  5. Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts down, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the chicken is warmed through.
  8. Serve the Creamy Tuscan Chicken immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

You can serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
