Creamy Tuscan Chicken in 30 Minutes 🍗

Ingredients

• 2 large Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless, cut in half to make 4 cutlets)
• 1 tsp Salt (for seasoning)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder (or use fresh minced garlic)
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (for sautéing)
• 8 oz Mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (chopped, oil‑packed)
• 2 stalks Green Onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (full‑fat)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
• 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach (washed)

Instructions

1. Season Chicken

   Trim any excess fat, pat the chicken breasts dry, cut each breast in half to create four cutlets, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp black pepper.

   Time: PT5M

2. Sauté Chicken

   Heat the non‑reactive skillet over medium‑high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. When the butter foams, add the chicken cutlets and cook 3–5 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: medium-high

3. Sauté Mushrooms and Aromatics

   Add a drizzle of olive oil to the same skillet, then add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté 2–3 minutes until they release moisture and brown. Stir in the chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, sliced green onion, and minced garlic; season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook another minute.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

4. Create Creamy Sauce

   Pour in 1 cup heavy whipping cream, stir to combine, then sprinkle ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

5. Wilt Spinach

   Add 2 cups fresh baby spinach to the sauce and stir until just wilted, about 1–2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium

6. Finish Dish

   Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over them, and let everything heat together for 1–2 minutes so the chicken finishes cooking and absorbs flavor. Serve immediately.
