Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken
High protein, similar vibe to creamy shrimp pasta but lower carb. An Italian-inspired comfort dish with a rich, creamy sauce featuring sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.
Ingredients
- 6 pc Chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 Onion (chopped)
- 4 pc Garlic (minced)
- 100 ml white wine
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 100 g Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 100 g fresh Spinach
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Salt and pepper the chicken. If a chicken spice mix is used, use it now. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown (about 5-7 mins per side). Remove and set aside (it doesn't need to be fully cooked yet).
In the same pan, melt butter. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Pour in wine (or broth) and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom. Simmer for 3 mins to reduce.
Stir in the cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Return the chicken to the pan. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 mins until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan. Serve over steamed broccoli, roasted cauliflower, or mashed potatoes.
