Instructions
Creating the Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Cream: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine with the tomatoes, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts and combines with the cream sauce.
6. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, nestling it into the creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
These simple steps will guide you to create a delicious Creamy Tuscan Chicken Skillet that is sure to impress.
