Do you love creamy sauces? I sure do! This ultra-creamy Tuscan Chicken is sometimes called ‘Marry Me Chicken’ because it’s just that good. Tuscan chicken is enveloped in a creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, and spinach. It’s incredible comfort food that’s also really easy to make. It’s typically made with heavy whipping cream and you’ll find that listed below in the recipe. But for anyone who is dairy-free, this recipe also comes with 2 dairy-free options. I personally like the coconut cream option the best. It makes a super creamy sauce that doesn’t taste like coconut thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. But bring on the heavy cream if you can have dairy because it really is the most decadent and rich option for this dish!
Make this recipe step by step
Step 1: Start by prepping all of your ingredients. Then preheat a large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the oil and sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on each side. This takes about 3 minutes per side. Step 2: Next cook the onions and garlic together until the onions are softened and browned. Step 3: Then we’ll add all the sauce ingredients along with the chicken. Finally, bring the sauce to a simmer and cook together with the chicken until the chicken is done in the center. Step 5: Next add the chopped fresh spinach across the top of the skillet. It will look like a lot, but remember spinach melts down into almost nothing. Let it sit for a minute or so to wilt a bit. Then carefully mix it in and allow it to just wilt for about 1 more minute. If your pan is too small, try removing the chicken breasts while you wilt the spinach before adding them back in. Step 6: The final step is to add some optional fresh basil and serve it with your choice of side dishes!
