Creamy Tuscan Chicken is a one-skillet dish that’s oh so rich and satisfying. It’s low carb, family friendly, and sure to be a hit thanks to that creamy flavorful sauce!
I’ve had a thing for chicken cooked with dreamy creamy sauces lately.
There is just something so filling and satisfying and indulgent about a cream sauce, especially when it’s literally bursting with flavor like this one.
Sun-dried tomatoes add a huge punch of flavor to this whole dish and I add in a little spinach and garlic for good measure.
The chicken is juicy and moist, the sauce is something you might want to drink with a straw, and the whole dish is just divine.
Can’t wait for you to give it a try and report back. I want to know what you think of this creamy tuscan chicken recipe!
Tuscan Chicken recipe:
To start, we’ll season up some thin-sliced chicken breasts with a little paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Cook the chicken in a heavy bottomed pot (such as a cast iron skillet) in a bit of butter until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add in your cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic.
Let that cook for a few minutes to infuse all the flavor from the tomatoes and garlic into the sauce.
Add in some chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
Pop your chicken back into the skillet with the sauce and you’re good to go!
Dinner is served!
You could serve this up with some cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles or with a side of steamed broccoli.
Either way, this recipe is absolutely mouth watering.

This was delicious!
Debbie says
My girls and I tried this recipe last night. I had to make my own sun dried tomatoes in the oven and may have used too much salt. We all LOVED the taste of the chicken; however, I would use much less salt next time for the rub. Thanks for the recipe!
Jean says
This is scrumptious. Whole family raved. Thank you so much
Tracy says
If I wanted to make this paleo friendly what would I substitute the heavy cream for? If I use coconut cream would it be the same amount? Is there anything other than coconut cream that I could use so it doesn’t end up having a huge coconut flavor?
Karly Campbell says
I’ve only made this with heavy cream. I’m not sure what would be your best option for paleo, unfortunately.
Nikki S says
I used coconut cream (same amount – 1 cup) and it turned out delicious!!
Mary Ann says
Yummmmm! Will definitely make this again.
Karen says
Looks excellent! I plan on making this soon. I sent this question via “contact” link….should have commented here.
Are the sun-dried tomatoes the ones in a jar with oil or the truly dry ones available in the produce section?
Thanks.
Karly Campbell says
I used the ones in oil for this one, but I believe either would work okay.
Karen says
Thanks!

Great idea about the mushrooms! Thanks everyone!
Briana says
This was great! My 8 year old helped me make it and then said it “wasn’t bad” which is good since she doesn’t like meat. And my 4 year old asked for seconds.
Bryan says
Oh this looks really good! I’ve been in need of a new chicken recipe too! I can’t wait to try it out, thank you!
