The best creamy Tuscan garlic chicken featuring juicy chicken pieces simmered in a rich Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. A restaurant-style dinner that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

2 cups fresh baby spinach

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces along with paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Create the Cream Sauce
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Add Parmesan and Spinach
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh baby spinach. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce begins to thicken.

Melt the Mozzarella
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the skillet and gently stir until it melts into a creamy, cheesy sauce.

Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm while the sauce is rich and creamy.

Notes

Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

Add mushrooms for extra Tuscan-style flavor.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
