Instructions
Creating Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by slicing the mushrooms and mincing the garlic.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
5. Add Spinach and Garlic: Toss in minced garlic and fresh spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
6. Make Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
7. Combine Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating each piece with the creamy sauce. Allow everything to cook together for a minute.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
10. Serve: Serve hot, perhaps over pasta or rice, to soak up the delicious sauce.
