Ladies, let me tell you about a mouthwatering keto dinner that’ll make your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken is so good, you’ll forget you’re even on a diet. Trust me, I’ve made this countless times, and my husband still thinks I ordered takeout from that fancy Italian place downtown! 😉
Y’all, this recipe is pure magic – tender chicken breasts swimming in a rich, creamy sauce loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and enough garlic to keep the vampires away (and maybe your mother-in-law too, but that’s just a bonus!).
What You’ll Need (serves 4):
• 4 large chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (or 6 if you’re like me!)
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• ½ cup grated parmesan
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
Okay, girlfriends, let’s get cooking!
First, season those chicken breasts like you mean it! Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper. Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot (like your summer playlist 💃), add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Now, in the same pan (hello, fewer dishes to wash!), add your minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add your parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, whisking until smooth. Toss in those gorgeous sun-dried tomatoes and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add your spinach and let it wilt into the sauce (like my motivation to go to the gym). Return the chicken to the pan and let everything get cozy together for another 3-5 minutes.
And voilà! Serve it hot, and watch your family’s jaws drop. This dish pairs perfectly with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles if you’re keeping it strictly keto. And yes, it’s totally Instagram-worthy – I won’t judge if you take pictures before diving in!
The best part? This entire dish has only 6g net carbs per serving, but tastes like it should be totally illegal on any diet!
