Description
Low Carb Tuscan Chicken is a flavorful, creamy dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich sauce made from heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, all enhanced by fresh spinach and Italian seasoning.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
3. 3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
4. 4. Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Cook until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. 5. Add fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted.
6. 6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal. Adjust the cream-to-broth ratio based on preference for sauce richness.
