A creamy and flavorful Tuscan chicken dish with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flour for dredging
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 2 cups (loosely packed) fresh baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Coat in flour.
  2. Melt the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and Dijon mustard. Scrape up any brown bits and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cream, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Add the chicken back to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce reduces slightly.
  5. Stir in the basil and season with extra salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor.
  • Adjust creaminess by adding more or less heavy cream.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes can be oil-packed or dry; adjust quantity to taste.
