### How to Make Creamy Tuscan Chicken
#### 1. **Season & sear the chicken**
Pat the chicken dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
#### 2. **Sauté garlic & build the sauce**
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up all the browned bits.
#### 3. **Add the creamy goodness**
Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
#### 4. **Toss in the spinach**
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted—this only takes about a minute or two.
#### 5. **Return chicken to the pan**
Nestle the chicken back into the sauce, spooning some over the top. Let it simmer for another 3–5 minutes to warm through and soak up the flavor.
#### 6. **Serve & devour**
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot. Pair it with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up every drop of that dreamy sauce.

### Tips for Extra Deliciousness
– **Pound the chicken breasts** to an even thickness for quicker, more even cooking.
– **Use jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil** for the best flavor and richness.
– **Add mushrooms** or swap in kale for a veggie twist.
– **Want a lighter version?** Try half-and-half instead of heavy cream (though the richness is part of the magic!).
