Creamy Parmesan Tuscan Chicken

Addictive • Creamy • Irresistible • “Gone Before You Know It”

“I’ve been making this at least once a week for the past month! I can’t seem to keep it in the house. I’ve passed the recipe along to a few friends and they have the same problem!”

This Creamy Parmesan Tuscan Chicken is one of those dishes that simply vanishes the second it hits the table. Tender pan-seared chicken simmered in a dreamy sauce made with parmesan, garlic, cream, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. It’s warm, cozy, and bursting with flavor.

Once you make it… you’ll absolutely understand why it doesn’t last long.


A Short History

Tuscan-style creamy dishes became popular in the 1990s through Italian-American kitchens inspired by the flavors of central Italy — especially spinach, garlic, herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes.

While not a strict “traditional” Italian dish, the flavors are deeply rooted in classic Mediterranean cooking. Over time, cooks combined these flavors with creamy parmesan sauces to create the modern comfort classic we know today.


Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Creamy Tuscan Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), chopped
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Optional Garnish

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken
