1-Follow this straightforward guide to make Tuscan Chicken: starting with simple prep work that sets you up for success. First, prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and washing the spinach to ensure smooth cooking. This step helps you move through the process without interruptions.

2-Next: season the chicken halves with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper for even flavor. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear half the chicken until browned on each side for 3 to 5 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken and oil, noting that the chicken won’t be fully cooked at this stage.

3-Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil if needed, then sauté the diced onion until softened for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning, cooking until fragrant for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gradually add the baby spinach a handful at a time, stirring regularly until just wilted for 1 to 2 minutes.

4-Stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, then bring to a simmer while scraping up browned bits from the pan bottom. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, maintaining a gentle simmer until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165ºF for 4 to 7 minutes.
