Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Cherry Tomatoes
This Creamy Tuscan Chicken has loads of fresh cherry tomatoes and spinach, in a rich and creamy sauce. It comes together fast, so it's perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 TBSP butter
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until browned, and no longer pink in the middle, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes begin to burst, then add spinach and cook until spinach wilts.
- Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, simmering until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened a bit, about 3 minutes. Add chicken back to the pan, and cook until heated through, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Serve with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan on top, and crusty bread to dip in the sauce.
