How To Make Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Season the chicken generously with salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked through. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
In the same pan sauté fresh minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently. Stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Add cherry tomatoes and spinach to the sauce and allow the spinach to wilt naturally. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together briefly so the flavors blend perfectly.
