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!
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ cup parmesan cheese

- In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt. Add the chicken back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired.

I’m making it over pasta and so I doubled the sauce but it’s not getting thick! Wondered if you had any tips! Thanks!
Cook it down a bit longer
I added more Italian cheese..that did it
Would help to put up the nutrition.
I am working on getting nutrition for each recipe. I will let you know when I have those done.
If you’re concerned about nutrition, I would avoid any recipe with heavy cream. This recipe is fantastic however, go back to nutritional concerns tomorrow.
If your on KETO then the thickener I use is xanthan gum. Start with 1/8 tsp and add a little at a time unit you get the thickness you want.
I make this at least twice a month. Now that I’m pregnant it’s one of the few things I can cook and eat that doesn’t make me feel like death lol. I recommend this to everyone as an easy, delicious meal to impress guests and loved ones. I absolutely love this so much. Have served over rice, potatoes and pasta with great success and will be trying with zoodles in the near future. Thank you for posting!!
The sauce never “thickens” beyond a creamy consistency unless you add a thickener to it. When it has had a chance to cool a bit and settle the sauce thickens up a bit more and sticks to pasta quite well. You could add a tablespoon of cornstarch if you like it thicker than that but it doesn’t need it imo.
Not sure what went wrong….followed recipe but sauce was runny and grainy. It was like the cheese was separating. I tried to let it thicken more but it didn’t help.
You most likely either needed to let the cream come to room temp. or you boiled it. I’ve had that happen before.
I use fresh shaved Parmesan from the cold section not the Kraft grated kind from a bottle. I didn’t like the texture of the sauce when I used the bottled parm either. It comes out delicious every time. Also, sauce will thicken after it cools a little. My fiancé requests this often. Happy cooking!

I have now made this almost a dozen times and it is AMAING every time! One pan and super easy too. I don’t put it over pasta (because keto) and eating this almost makes me forget about carbs. Thank you for this!
Love your recipes! I signed up for your emails and am getting the Tried and True challenge for daily meals. The only thing I might suggest is separating the pasta meals or meals that are so much alike, as yesterday I got the fettuccine recipe which the sauce is so much like this one. I’m going to make this in a few days. I found a Mississippi slow cooker pork recipe of yours I will try tonight instead. Thanks for such delicious easy recipes though!
This dish is absolutely delicious! I used cheese stuffed tortellini with this. It tastes like you would buy it from a restaurant. I did double the sauce and had a little left over. This is a five star recipe!
I loved this recipe! I was patient with the sauce and it turned out perfect. I am Keto so I omitted sun dried tomatoes and paired it with zoodles. Yuuuuum!
AWESOME and fast. Appearance is awesome, too. Careful adding any salt as the tomatoes have so much.
Wow!!! This was so easy and SO DELISH!!! Our teenage daughter that’s usually so picky and hesitant to try new dishes even loved it as much as we did! This WILL become a staple dinner in our home. We follow a keto lifestyle here, so we used steamed broccoli in place of pasta and it was a wonderful combo! Anxiously awaiting the nutrition info.
