    This One-Skillet Tuscan Chicken is one of my favorite easy weeknight dinners! Juicy chicken breasts in a tasty cream sauce with fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes - it's something the whole family will love!

    If you're looking for a healthy weeknight dinner that doesn't take long to make & tastes amazing, look no further! My One-Skillet Tuscan Chicken comes together in less than 30 minutes and all in one skillet too. The sauce is probably the best part - creamy, seasoned perfectly, and light enough where you don't feel guilty after eating it. I pour a good amount over my chicken and whatever side dish I'm serving with it! Speaking of side dishes, try serving this over Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Rice.


    Ingredients

    • Chicken Breasts - We're going to brown the outsides of the chicken in the pan, remove the meat and let it rest, and then allow them to finish cooking in the sauce. This method ensures the juiciest chicken!
    • Harissa Seasoning - Harissa seasoning is a spicy, smoky spice blend that hails from North Africa. It takes our tuscan chicken to another level. You can find this at your spice aisle in your local grocery store.
    • Sundried Tomatoes - There's something about sundried tomatoes that just elevate a dish. Be sure to slice them up thinly. I've also used the sundried tomato paste in a pinch.
    • Spinach Leaves - Chopping up fresh spinach leaves gives a bit more texture and creates a prettier plate. However, I've used frozen spinach as well; just thaw and squeeze out any excess water.
    • Heavy Cream + Almond Milk - Our cream sauce is based on a combination of heavy cream and milk, plus some fresh spices. The fun part about making the sauce is: you can tweak this to your tastebuds!

    Tips to Make Tuscan Chicken

    Make sure that you slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner; they will fully cook way faster this way. I also want to have a discussion on why chicken breasts are so big now, but that's for another post.

    If you check out my Instagram, you'll see a Reel I posted for this that walks you through all the steps! Season to your liking, and serve this One-Skillet Tuscan Chicken over some jasmine rice or creamy mashed potatoes.

    1. Start out by halving your chicken breasts and season on both sides.
    2. Brown both sides of the chicken in a bit of olive oil on medium heat.
    3. Remove the chicken, and set aside. (We'll finish cooking it completely in the sauce later!)
    4. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
    5. Pour in the chicken broth and dijon mustard. Stir well.
    6. Once the broth begins bubbling, pour in the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, heavy cream, and unsweetened almond milk.
    7. Stir until everything is combined, and season your sauce according to taste.
    8. After the sauce reduces and thickens, add the chicken breasts back in. Cook until they are completely done.
    9. Baste the chicken with the sauce and veggies. Serve on top of your favorite sides like rice or potatoes!
