Baked Tuscan Chicken is a rich and savory one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken breasts in a creamy parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and spinach. Elegant enough for guests but simple enough for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  6. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts.
  8. Return seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some sauce over them.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
