Step-by-Step Instructions for Low-Carb Tuscan Chicken
  1. Start by seasoning both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside while preparing the skillet.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cooked through.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add 3 cloves of minced garlic and ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 cup of roughly chopped fresh spinach to wilt over 2–3 minutes.
  6. Once the spinach has wilted, stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted into the sauce.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on low heat.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
