Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken has the most amazing creamy garlic sauce with spinach and sun dried tomatoes. This meal is a restaurant quality meal ready in 30 minutes!
One more week left of school. One. As I look back at this last school year it has flown by! I feel like we were just celebrating Christmas and now we are heading into summer. We are all looking forward to the summer time at our house. Bring on the BBQs, s’mores, swimming, and late nights!
We have been so busy with moving into our new house that we have hardly had any time for a home cooked meal. This Tuscan Garlic Chicken was the first meal that I have made in a while and it is TO DIE FOR!!!
This meal tastes like it is straight from a restaurant. I couldn’t even get over how amazing the creamy sauce was! It has such a delicious creamy garlic taste with spinach and sun dried tomatoes. We all fell in love with the first bite. I couldn’t believe how easy and amazing it was!
Put this meal at the top of your must make list! It was one of the best things our family has had. You can even serve this over pasta making it a delicious meal.
You guys are going to love this just as much as we did!

I made this tonight and used noodles in it, it was so delicious,
I made this last night and added noodles to it, it was delicious!
Made this 2 ways once with chicken & once with shrimp. Both are delicious.
What are the nutritional breakdown? Calories? Carbs? Protein?
I am in the process of adding nutritional facts to each of my recipes at this time. In the meantime you are welcome to use myfitnesspal.com for any questions you may have.
Hi , making this tonight and was wondering , you put thinly sliced for chicken but the video shows it as whole breast . Scared the chicken comes out dry .
Do you cut strips before or after cooking chicken
If the chicken is too thick I will cut the chicken to make two thin chicken pieces, not in half. If they are the frozen chicken thawed out, those are already thin enough. I slice my chicken after cooking them. Hope that helps! Let me know how you like it.
I’m obsessed! So delicious!
I made as directed and doubled the sauce. Was excellent. No leftovers! It was my husband’s birthday and he even made the comment about he would order this again at a restaurant. Everyone went back for seconds!
YAY! That is exciting! I am so glad it turned out so well!
Amazing. Poured it over baby red potatoes. Cant wait to try it with gnocchi or rice (like a risotto).
Make this about 2 months ago, my family is nuts over this recipe. I made one adjustment, I used fresh garlic. I’m making again tonight . We eat a lot of chicken so I am always looking for new ways to prepare, thank you.
Can this be made a day ahead for larger groups? Does it reheat well?
Yes, that will be great! It will reheat well by slowly reheating it and the cream sauce on a low temperature so it does not curdle.
Do I use sun-dried tomatoes dry or jarred in olive oil?
I like the ones in olive oil, but either one will work.
I’ve made this recipe for family and for parties. It’s simple, can be made ahead of time and reheated in a casserole dish. Definitely double the sauce! I serve it over wild rice and always get rave reviews!!
I am going to try this in 2 days. We loved the Creamy Chicken Marsala and even shared some with a friend of my daughter’s and he loved it to!
This is fabulous!!! It was the easiest recipe I have ever made and we all loved it. It makes such a delicious sauce. It also makes a wonderful presentation. Great chefs say you eat with your eyes first and this looks as good as it tastes. The only problem was I didn’t make more. I can’t say enough great things about it. Thank you and keep the recipes coming.
I made this dish last night and it was absolutely awesome! I served it over fettuccine – simple, easy to follow instructions – thank you so much!
I have made this several times in both the instant pot and a crock pot! Super easy and so delish. My entire family of 4 loved it!
I was wondering the sun dried tomatoes I have a jar of them do you put the oil in too or drain the the tomato’s ?
I like to use the olive oil in them but either one will taste great!
Looks very delicious. I love all these ingredients. I am definitely going to pin this recipe to make when my wife gets home. Thanks for sharing.
Do you season the chicken at all? Seems like it would be bland.
You are welcome to season it with your preference but it doesn’t need to be for this recipe.
Dude! Best recipe evah! Thank you for posting! Yum yum yum!
Made this last night and it was delicious! FYI: If anyone happens to be out of heavy cream, you can substitute with 3/4 C milk and 1/4 C butter!
