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!

Did you catch my question at the end of the video? 😉Anyone want to travel with me?
Classic. Delicious. Superb.
I like Italian Holidays and
Cuisine.
Appreciate your Recipes,
Presentation & Videography.
Thank you Lisa .
Touring Italy is a dream of mine.
If you wanted to add a little wine to the traditional version sauce, which wine would you suggest.
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.
Mmmmmmmm! Delicious, I will try to cook it. Thanks you.
This Tuscan chicken is better the next day! If you can believe it. Lol
Once again a terrific recipe! I made the Tuscan Chicken for a dinner party it was a HIT! My friend's husband told me it was better than any restaurant. Lol.
I made this tonight and it was SO great! Watched another video about some garlic parmesan roasted potatoes and they paired wonderfully with the chicken. Will definitely be making this one again. Yum!
This looks amazing!!!
I believe!!
OK, this looks really good. TY
This is beautiful and looks so healthy. Thank you for sharing. 🙋♀️❤
One of the very first recipes my mate prepared for me after we first met 11 years ago! Fantastic & superb!! 🌟😘🎉💕
Looks delicious and so simple to prepare!👍🏾👍🏾 I'm going to do this! Thank you!😊😊
This looks amazing…and easy! I’m going to try it tonight. And yes, you should lead a tour of Italy and all its great food! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Made this it is simple and delicious. Your right no left overs. Had everything in my refrigerator ! ❤
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.
Yes, def, depending on when and itin! Sounds like fun❤️🩹💕
I highly recommend adding chopped up crisps bacon! It takes it up to a whole new level of flavor town lol
Cooked bacon btw, not bacon bits in the containers 😉
Dry
What pan is this?
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… 😀
Great video and I love the recipe. I'm going to try it! Looks really good…..and I caught the question at the end, I think you should do it. I think it would be a great experience 😊😊😊
Amazing. Thank you.
Let's eat
i'll go !
Made this tonight for friends we had over for dinner. They loved it and so did we! I made it dairy free also. Yum! Thanks for this recipe!
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!
Yummy! Making this soon!
Love to hear if you did a cooking and wine pairing tour in Tuscany !
תודה! Thank you for everything. 🇮🇱
You are the best in all youtube 😘
I tried this recipe for the first time for guests for dinner and we all loved it, they wanted the recipe, thanks.
Could I cook this in the over?
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.
yes you should. i love watching the youtube videos and you seem very natural. i think you’d be great at providing the tour. make sure to throw in some places that you can maybe do a tiny taste tour.
This was yummy .. used salmon instead .. still tasted amazing 😊
Yes, a group tour
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.
Excellent recipe, I just made it, and it was great. I have added some mushrooms as well (I just like mushrooms). Otherwise, this recipe is good the way it is.
Making this AGAIN for my husband tomorrow. Delicious!
Omg! I'm making this next weekend for our Sunday family dinner..
Wow, I never thought about doing this recipe with Chicken Breasts. I usually do it with Salmon. I will definitely do this recipe. Thank you.
Go for it!
Wow! looks amazing, I am doing this today!
Yes. Would love a food and wine tour of Italy, Spain, Western Greece.
Our family loved the dairy free version. It didn’t look like the dairy one but the flavors where on point. We named it keep the husband chicken. I won🤗
