This CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN is a wow-worthy dinner recipe with Mediterranean flair!



This creamy Tuscan chicken recipe is a dinner recipe winner! Juicy chicken breasts are seasoned with Italian spices and seared until golden, then simmered in the most luxurious cream sauce filled with parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, onions and plenty of spinach.

It’s a spin on a classic Italian Florentine sauce, which is made from white wine, cream, and spinach. Then it was given a Tuscan twist by adding garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the warm cream and spinach base. But what really popularized this dish (at least in America) was Olive Garden’s Tuscan Garlic Chicken, a dish with a similar flavor profile.

Either way, I’m glad this Tuscan chicken became a trend because it’s literally the best thing ever. Especially when you’re craving something rich and cheesy, with a Mediterranean flair. It’s an (almost) 30-minute, one-pan meal that I know you’re gonna love. And while I’m making the classic version today, I’ll also show you how to make this recipe dairy-free (it’s naturally gluten-free). Click through to the recipe below for more details!

  1. I have always tried to duplicate recipes when I return from Italy…..but sadly the ingredients here are just not the same. I am sure this recipe is delicious but I also believe that if it was made in Italy it would be even tastier.

  2. This looks delicious! I think my son-in-law's family is from the Tuscan region, so maybe I'll save this for him. Would Orzo be an option to for serving this dish? This being a 4 serving recipe is great when you're cooking for one because you don't have to eat a whole lot of chicken all at once.

  3. Hi Lisa, Thanks for this very nice recipe. By the way, here in Germany, most of my friends and I do not peel garlic before putting into the press. You might try. I usually cut off the very hard and dry end and put the clove with the remaining peel into the press. The only thing to take care of is getting out the peel before inserting the next clove…
    I am very much looking forward to receiving your cook book when amazon delivers it in some weeks time… 😀

  4. Was just looking for a new chicken recipe…definitely going to make this. And I just bought a jar of sun-dried tomatoes (which I haven't for a while) during my big pantry shop for the boat! A fortuitous choice!

  5. This crap has nothing Tuscan and even less Italian. Garlic, onion and heavy cream together !. HELP!!. This is definitely not Italian cuisine. Your florentine sauce does not exist in Florence … Do not abuse the terms "italian" and "tuscan", please. We prefer more digestible dishes.

  6. Made this recipe tonight. I recently found your channel and this is the first recipe I make. It was DELICIOUS!!!! My husband and preteen kids gobbled it down. I paired it with brown rice pasta instead of lentils. Soooo good.
