Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup spinach, chopped
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Creating Healthy Tuscan Chicken is a straightforward process that results in a mouthwatering meal. Follow these steps to bring this delicious dish to life:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften.
4. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and Italian seasoning, allowing it to wilt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Create the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add in the low-fat cream cheese. Stir until it melts and combines with the vegetables, forming a creamy sauce.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, covering it with the creamy sauce and vegetables. Let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
7. Check Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve Hot: Take off the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
