Creamy Tuscan Chicken
If you're looking for an easy and impressive chicken dinner, try this creamy Tuscan chicken. Browned chicken breasts simmer in a rich, creamy, and garlicky sauce. Pops of sweet sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach add more flavor to the sauce. Over cooked pasta, it's a comforting restaurant-quality meal.

Instructions
- 01
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sear chicken until lightly golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- 02
Remove chicken to platter.
- 03
Prepare pasta according to package directions just until al dente (don't overcook). Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
- 04
Add garlic to the same skillet that was used to brown the chicken. Sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- 05
Then add cream, wine (if using), chicken broth, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Whisk until the cream starts to thicken; about 5 to 6 minutes.
- 06
Once the cream is slightly thickened, add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer until the spinach wilts.
- 07
Return chicken to skillet and simmer chicken in the creamy sauce until fully cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes longer (depending on the thickness of chicken breasts). Spoon sauce over chicken while it simmers for full flavor benefit.
- 08
To serve, divide the pasta among 4 individual plates. Top each with a chicken breast, and spoon the pan sauce over each chicken serving. Serve immediately.
