Ingredients in Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Many of these ingredients are basics you will already have in your pantry or refrigerator. They come together so easily to make the BEST Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken I have ever had! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts: Thinly sliced chicken will work best because it will cook evenly and quickly.
- Olive oil: This is used to cook the chicken in so that the outside gets golden brown.
- Salt: The salt enhances the flavors in the recipe.
- Heavy Cream: The slightly sweet and creamy base of the sauce.
- Chicken Broth: This adds flavor to the base of the sauce.
- Garlic powder: Adds rich bold garlic flavor to the chicken and sauce.
- Italian Seasoning: This is the perfect blend of seasonings that give your sauce unbelievably good flavor. You can even make it at home with this easy recipe!
- Parmesan Cheese: Use freshly grated cheese from a block if possible for the best consistency in your sauce.
- Spinach: This adds in a beautiful color and flavor (plus it’s healthy!) to the dish.
- Sun Dried Tomatoes: The flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes in the cream sauce is amazing!
How to Make Tuscan Chicken
This is a restaurant quality meal that you can quickly and easily put together at home. It is effortless, but so impressive. The taste is so good you will be obsessed with this dinner!
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side (or until browned) and until no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Make Sauce: Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Whisk over medium-high heat until it starts to thicken.
- Add Vegetables: Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt.
- Combine: Add the chicken back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired.
Tips and Variations
Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken is one of the best things our family has had. We often serve this over pasta to make it into a delicious meal. You guys are going to love the flavors and versatility of this creamy chicken just as much as we do!
- Serve it with Pasta: You can serve this chicken with so many things! Try your favorite pasta, Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes or Mashed Cauliflower.
- Add Veggies: Freshly steamed veggies or a light salad are great sides to add freshness to the meal.
- Protein: Swap out the chicken for salmon or shrimp. The sweet garlic cream sauce will pair perfectly with these meats as well and give you some variety in your proteins.
- How to know when the chicken is done: To ensure your chicken is cooked throughout, look for the juices to run clear. Also, keep in mind chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. So, use a meat thermometer to be sure you have perfectly cooked chicken.
- Use Fresh Cheese (From a Block): For the most creamy sauce, be sure you’re using freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated with preservatives that keep them from melting completely and will result in grainy sauce.
- Room Temperature Chicken: Make sure your creamy tuscan garlic chicken is at room temperature before cooking. It will cook more evenly than if it is still cold. Also, dry it completely and season it with salt as it cooks in the oil coated pan.
Storing Leftovers
We rarely have leftovers of this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken because my kids lick their plates clean! But if you do, it tastes delicious, maybe even better, the next day!
- In the Refrigerator: Let the chicken cool completely. Within 2 hours of cooking, place the chicken in an airtight container and it will last for 3-4 days.
- In the Freezer: You can freeze this after cooking it for a quick and easy freezer meal! Store it in an airtight container and it will last 6 months.
- To Reheat: If frozen, let the chicken thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, you can heat up the chicken on the stove over medium heat. You need whisk sauce thoroughly to get the sauce back to its original creamy consistency. Add additional chicken broth or cream if your sauce is breaking.

this creamy tuscan garlic chicken looks so delicious and so yummy! can’t wait to try it out!
I see this recipe serves 6, but do you happen to know what a serving size would be? It’s an awesome recipe, by the way! It’s a rare day when I can find something that every person in my family will eat! Ha
Mmm this looks so good. I can’t wait to make it tonight!
Turned out great! Made a double recipe and added paprika. They loved it! I would add a picture but I don’t know how!
We made a few accommodations for what we had in hand. Used asparagus instead of spinach. And roasted red peppers for the sun dried tomatoes. And it was delicious. Will definitely be making this again.
This is a great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it with the world. The sun dried tomatoes make this dish in my opinion.
I feel the same! Sun-dried tomatoes tasted amazing with the ingredients. So good.!
This is a go to meal. Sometimes chicken, sometimes shrimp, sometimes sausage. Definitely a family favorite. Thanks!!
I eat a keto diet. I plan to make soup following this recipe. It’s hard to find low carb soups. I plan to add a little cream cheese for thickening if needed. I make a similar soup using ground sausage and rotelle. YUMMMMM!!!!
Janet,
This is my go to recipe for keto, I literally can eat it without pasta for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!! Love this!
To keep the calories lower I usually use half cream and half 2% milk. Since I’m a lifetime WW member it’s in my brain to look for little savings.
Oh my goodness, just made this tonight, such an easy dish to make but this was something that me and my partner would both order at a restaurant and pay a good price for, it smelt good, looked good and tasted good, made it with pasta and I know that I will make this next time we have guests and then do garlic bread with it and some nice wine, thank you so much for sharing this and hope you have a great weekend x
Delish! I made this in the crock pot after browning the chicken and deglazing the pan with chicken broth and coconut milk instead of heavy cream. My boyfriend loved it! I served it with quinoa, roasted carrots and more garlic spinach. Great recipe!
Well it’s was very tastie! Super easy to put together! I did add some and onions n garlic plus cherry tomatoes for a boost of flavour! After putting in the Parmesan cheese I still felt it was a bit runny, so I too added a bit of a cornstarch slurry to help thicken! Overall, fabulous! Definitely will go into a regular rotation! Thanks 😊!
Use less oil to brown chicken 1 TVs is enough other than that wonderful!
Very delicious! Whole family loved! I did not have the sundried tomatoes so I cannot attest to those I would only add a quarter cup broth next time. Mine wasn’t as thick as I would have liked, but that’s just preference!
Just made this, whole family loved it
Loved this recipe. So easy to prep and prepare and tastes delicious. Absolutely will be adding this to my family’s dinner rotation.
