Keto Tuscan Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 5 oz Spinach
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Pat the 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a clean plate, tenting it loosely with foil to keep warm.
3. 3Reduce the heat to medium, about 300°F (150°C). Add the 3 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. 4Add the 0.5 cup of sun-dried tomatoes and the 5 oz of spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted down, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. 5Pour the 1 cup of heavy cream and the 0.5 cup of chicken broth into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. 6Stir in the 0.25 cup of Parmesan cheese until it is melted and fully incorporated into the sauce. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if desired, using the remaining amounts from the ingredient list.
7. 7Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Let everything simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
8. 8Serve the Tuscan Chicken immediately, spooning extra sauce over each piece.
