_Rolling up my sleeves with a mischievous grin_
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to absolutely wow your family with this melt-in-your-mouth Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Skillet! As a busy mom who loves creating magic in the kitchen, I can’t tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner plans and earned me those precious “Mom, you’re the best!” moments.
Picture this: tender, juicy chicken breasts swimming in a heavenly sun-dried tomato and spinach cream sauce that’ll make your taste buds do the happy dance. Trust me, even your picky eaters will be asking for seconds!
What You’ll Need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, darlings)
– 3 cloves garlic (or 6 if you’re like me and believe there’s no such thing as too much garlic)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (the real deal, not the powdered stuff!)
– Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– A glass of wine (for the cook, obviously! 😉)
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Season those chicken breasts like you mean it! Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s nice and hot (like summer in Texas), add your chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
(Quick pause! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more drool-worthy recipes that’ll make you look like a kitchen goddess!)
1. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan (because we’re not about that extra dishes life), add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
1. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add those gorgeous sun-dried tomatoes and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
1. Here comes the good part! Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into creamy perfection. Toss in the spinach and watch it wilt beautifully into the sauce.
1. Return the chicken to the pan, letting it bathe in that incredible sauce for another 3-4 minutes.
And voilà ! Serve this beauty with pasta, rice, or if you’re feeling fancy, some crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that sauce. Because honey, we don’t waste sauce this good!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many marriage proposals this dish has earned me (sorry, already taken!).
