One-Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Delightful Dinner Dish
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste Salt and pepper
- for garnish Fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the creamy sauce. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
