Low-Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil or dry, rehydrated)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs on both sides.
  2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  1. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add Cream and Spinach: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Combine and Serve

  1. Return Chicken: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  2. Garnish: Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
  3. Serve: Serve hot, paired with your favorite low-carb side dish or over zucchini noodles.
