Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

- 150 g baby spinach
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 50 g parmesan, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
A Little Taste of Tuscany
If I could eat one meal for the rest of my life, honestly? It might be this. Tender chicken swimming in a creamy sun-dried tomato and spinach sauce, with just enough parmesan to make everything feel indulgent.
It's comfort food meets elegance, and it comes together in one pan.
The Method
Season your chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear in olive oil until golden — about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds (until fragrant, not brown!), then add the sun-dried tomatoes. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in the parmesan until melted and silky.
Add the spinach — it wilts down in about a minute. Nestle the chicken back in, spooning sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Tina's Tips
- Pound the chicken to even thickness so it cooks evenly
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that sauce
- This reheats beautifully for lunch the next day
- Add artichoke hearts for an extra Tuscan touch
