Ingredients

Scroll down to the recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

  • Chicken breasts – You’ll need two large chicken breasts; about 1 1/2 pounds total. 
  • Salt – we use fine sea salt, but you can substitute and add it to taste
  • Black pepper – Freshly cracked pepper is always best
  • Garlic powder – dried garlic is perfect to season chicken so it doesn’t burn on the skillet
  • Olive oil and Butter – this combination prevents the butter from burning
  • Mushrooms – Use brown or white mushrooms
  • Sun-dried tomatoes  – buy them packed in oil for more flavor
  • Green onion – chop the light and dark green parts. You can also use chives
  • Garlic – fresh minced garlic will give your sauce the best flavor
  • Heavy whipping cream – or sub with regular whipping cream
  • Parmesan cheese – Freshly shredded off the block is best, as it will melt into the sauce more smoothly
  • Baby spinach – Or, try adding baby arugula if you prefer. It has a peppery flavor that complements the other flavors in this dish.

Pro Tip: When cooking with acidic ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, it’s important to use a non-reactive skillet. Avoid cast iron, aluminum, or copper, which reacts with acidic ingredients and can curdle the sauce. A ceramic, enamel-coated, or stainless steel skillet are all good options for this recipe.

How to Make Tuscan Chicken

Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to get cooking! Here’s what you’ll need to do.

  1. Cook the Chicken – Melt a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-reactive skillet set over medium heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper; cook the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
  2. Cook the Vegetables – Return the pan to medium heat and add another tablespoon of oil, along with the mushrooms. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and cook for another minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce – Stir the cream into the mushroom mixture, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese over the top. Bring to a light boil, stirring frequently, then reduce to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Finish the Dish – Stir in the spinach until it wilts, then add the chicken back to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then remove the pan from the heat and garnish with chives, if desired.

Pro Tip: Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure it’s safe to eat, but not over-cooked either. It should reach 165ºF, but not go much higher than this. Chicken that is cooked too long will be tough.

Common Questions

What is Tuscan Chicken?

Tuscan Chicken is a chicken dish that originated in the Tuscany region of Italy. It pairs a creamy Parmesan sauce with chicken breasts, spinach, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes.

What should I look for when buying chicken breasts?

Look for chicken breasts that are pale pink in color, with very little visible fat. To ensure they cook evenly, choose two chicken breasts that are similar in size.

Can I substitute the mushrooms?

Yes, if you’re not a fan of mushrooms, you can substitute drained and quartered artichoke hearts (not marinated) or fresh asparagus.

Can I make this in the oven?

If you’d like, you can bake the chicken breasts in the oven, but the sauce will still need to be made on the stovetop. Once the chicken is done baking, add it to the skillet with the sauce, then serve.

What is the best spinach for Tuscan Chicken?

Baby spinach is preferable to “regular” or mature spinach, as it wilts in the sauce quickly. It also has a milder flavor, making it perfect for picky kids.

Can I double the recipe?

If you have a skillet large enough to fit 4 large chicken breasts, you can double this recipe. The sauce will take a bit longer to thicken, but other than that, the recipe will be the same.

Serving Suggestions

We love to chop the cooked chicken before returning it to the skillet; this way, it will soak up the tomato Alfredo sauce. Serve this as a main dish paired with:

How to Store and Reheat

While this recipe is best eaten the day it’s made, you’ll also be able to enjoy leftovers.

  • To Refrigerate: Store Tuscan Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Tuscan Chicken can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • To Reheat: If you’ve frozen the chicken, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat it in the microwave or in a skillet set over medium heat, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

    I don’t remember the last time I said, “Mmmmm,” so much during a meal! My kids looked at me like I was crazy. I really enjoyed this recipe and can’t wait to cook it again! Also, at first my kids didn’t like the idea of having mushrooms for dinner, but they couldn’t taste them, really. It’s a subtle flavor in the dish and just helps bump up the richness of the sauce. Everything worked so well together! Thanks, Natasha!

    Delicious. Made this last night; my husband and adult sons raved about it, which they seldom do. Having company and wondering if this could be made a bit ahead of time (just a few hours) and reheated in the oven, like in a 9×13 pan The cream would still be ok?

      Hi Sonya, I don’t have instructions for that specifically in this recipe. You can use the search bar at the top of the page to look at my recipes for chicken thighs and get the cooking instructions from there. They may take a few extra minutes if they have a bone so use a food thermometer to check for doneness. Once your chicken thighs are cooked, you can continue with this recipe as instructed. I hope that helps.

We served it over rice but are going to use the leftovers to try it over pasta, I have a feeling it will be just as good.

    Hi Natasha.

    Long time no post.

    My next recipe making from your site is the creamy Tuscan chicken.

    A few questions for you.

    You mentioned stainless steel with sun-dried tomatoes and that it’s fine. I thought stainless steel and anything tomato based would have that metallic/acidic reaction? I guess there’s debate about that. I do have stainless steel skillets.

    Can nonstick skillet be used? Or is it best to stick with stainless steel?

    Also, in regards to spinach or arugula… Can another complimentary fresh herb be used? Italian parsley? Or do you have another recommendation?

    Thank you for a wonderful website and all of your amazing recipes.

    Also, can’t wait to try out your summertime recipes. Especially the salads.

    Best,

    Mo

      Hi Mo, stainless steel is considered non-reactive. You would want to avoid aluminum or copper pans and also cast iron that is not enamel-coated. You can definitely use a non-stick skillet. That will work fine. The spinach is nice in there but you can sub with some parsley (just way less than the amount of spinach of course). I haven’t tried this with arugula. I’m so glad you enjoy my recipes. Thank you for the wonderful feedback!

    Does the cooked Chicken Tuscan dish freeze well? I always do an extra portion of many of your recipes to be able to give to a pensioner who had had surgery. Would the cream separate once he heats it up in the microwave after thawing it out properly?

      Hi Caroline, Freezing: Tuscan Chicken can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. It should be fine, if you’ve frozen the chicken, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat it in the microwave or in a skillet set over medium heat, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

    Could I serve the Tuscan chicken with your parsley rice? Would they complement each other well?
    BTW I get a LOT of compliments on everything I make. Thanks to you!!!

    I’m making this the coming weekend, and I will use a large cast iron skillet. After doing some research, and checking with other cooks, I’ve been told that if your cast iron is well seasoned, you should be able to cook with tomatoes. I’ve decided 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes should work fine! I love your recipes and refer people to your website often. I’ll let you know if my sauce curdles!
    I have made jambalaya in it several times.

        No curdling, and it was very good. I think this is a dish I will save for special occasions. The hardest part was slicing the breasts in two lengthwise. Over all, very tasty and rich. Served with white rice and a salad.

    My question is can I substitute the whipping cream with cooking cream?
    p.s. Sharky was after the chicken. He could not resist! 😊

      Hi Jean! Good eye catching Sharky! Cooking cream contains less butterfat than heavy cream, but it’s lighter and more liquid than heavy cream, so it may work, but it likely won’t be as creamy or thicken as the heavy whipping cream would.

      Hi Rick! I think it could work. You’d have to experiment with it. The creamy sauce really makes this recipe special. General, a dairy-free heavy cream works well as a substitute, not sure about the cheese though. Let us know if you experiment with it.

    Hey Natasha, I haven’t made this recipe but I’m sure its delicious. Question…My daughter is in college on the soccer team. We do tailgates for home games. If I make this recipe and keep it warm in a casserole dish will the sauce be absorbed if I do not add the rice pasta or potatoes? I would also be making quite a few batches an I will cut up the chicken. Do you suggest cutting up the chicken first before cooking or cook the chicken whole then cut before putting back in the pan like you do? Thank you so much.

    Reply

    • NatashasKitchen.com
      October 13, 2022

      Hi Ann. The sauce gets thicker as it cools but I don’t think it will be absorbed so much that it would be dry with transporting this dish. We’ve reheated this dish several times and it’s still good and juicy. You could make some additional sauce if you’d like, but keep in mind it will take a little longer to thicken up. Cooking the chicken breast whole helps to keep it moist, but you could cut it up if you’d like.

    Made marsala chicken a few times and loved it–thank you. Natasha what do you think when making Chicken Marsala recipe and adding sun dried tomatoes after Marsala wine reduction and adding spinach at the end? I prefer more runny sauce in Marsala recipe as it is easier to drizzle over Jasmine rice as it uses less amount of heavy cream. Do you think it will be good or it is better off without it?
    Thank you for all of your hard work. It is not just yummy food, it is memories for my kids for life. It is sitting down together and enjoying good food with as family. YOU making memories for us.
