Easy One Skillet Creamy Tuscan Chicken Dinner
A recipe for a super quick Easy One Skillet Creamy Tuscan Chicken Dinner
Ingredients
- 1 lb thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 15.5 oz great northern beans
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 pkg baby spinach 6 oz
- salt
Instructions
- Because this dish comes together so quickly, it is a good idea to prep everything in advance. That means cutting the chicken into strips, draining and rinsing the beans, opening the tomatoes, and washing the spinach.
- Slice the chicken breast into about 1/2 inch strips.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken to the hot skillet and lightly salt.
- Cook the chicken stirring and flipping the pieces until cooked through, about 5 minutes. You can add an additional tablespoon of olive oil if you feel the pan is too dry.
- Carefully add the undrained tomatoes, the beans, and the oregano.
- Stir the mixture and allow it to heat, about four minutes.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream in a steady stream, stirring constantly. Stirring the cream this way will keep it from curdling.
- Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Let the whole thing heat over medium heat for about four minutes.
- Pour the spinach over the top and cover. There will be a big pile of spinach on top, but it cooks and reduces pretty quickly.
- Let the spinach completely wilt, about five minutes. As most of the leaves shrink down, stir everything together one last time.
- Add salt to taste.
