Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken

This dish is a family favorite, full of rich flavors and a creamy texture that’s sure to warm your heart. Perfect for a cozy dinner!

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you'd like it to be extra creamy, feel free to add more cream or cheese!
9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
