Creamy Butter Chicken
Rich and aromatic curry with tender chicken
This creamy Tuscan chicken is restaurant-quality comfort food made in just 30 minutes! Tender chicken breasts are cooked to perfection and smothered in a luscious cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and parmesan cheese. The combination of flavors is absolutely divine and will have your family asking for seconds!
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides. Make sure the chicken is at room temperature for even cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add fresh spinach and Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts completely, creating a creamy, smooth sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve immediately with pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
For extra juicy chicken, pound the breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
Fresh spinach works best, but you can substitute with frozen spinach (thawed and drained).
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
This sauce is perfect over pasta, especially fettuccine or penne.
Absolutely delicious! Made this for dinner last night and my family loved it. The sauce is incredibly creamy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
Perfect recipe! I served it with pasta and it was restaurant-quality. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach is amazing.
Great recipe! I added some mushrooms and it turned out wonderful. Next time I'll try it with thigh meat instead of breast.
