Creamy One-Pan Tuscan Chicken Thighs
Seasoned chicken thighs in a rich cream sauce made of garlic, onion, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. The perfect cozy, one-pan meal!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil divided
- 1 medium Yellow onion finely diced
- 3-4 cloves Fresh garlic minced
- 5 oz. Oil packed sun-dried tomatoes drained and julienned
- 4 oz. Fresh baby spinach
- 2 oz. Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/4 cup AE Dairy heavy cream
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, sear chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add in garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cook down over medium heat until the spinach is just wilted.
- Add in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the chicken thighs back into the pan and allow everything to cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta and enjoy!
Notes
*Chicken is done when it hits an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
