Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken: One Pan, 42g of Protein, and a Sauce Worth Spooning Over Everything

Why it works

This is a one-pan weeknight dinner that eats like a weekend one: golden seared chicken, a silky garlic-cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, spooned over pasta. About 42g of protein and 560 calories per serving, on the table in 35 minutes — and the whole thing happens in the same skillet, so cleanup stays small.

The recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lb chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Italian seasoning, salt, pepper
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup light cream or half-and-half
• 1/2 cup Parmesan
• Pasta or crusty bread, to serve

Steps

1. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Sear in olive oil 5-6 min per side until golden; set aside.
3. Saute onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes in the same pan for 3 min.
4. Add cream and Parmesan; simmer 3 min until thickened and silky.
5. Wilt in the spinach, return the chicken, and simmer 5 min.
6. Serve over pasta with the creamy Tuscan sauce spooned on top.
