Baked Tuscan Chicken
This creamy Baked Tuscan Chicken is an easy take on the traditional Italian recipe. Instead of cooking this chicken with a cream sauce in a skillet, it's conveniently made in the oven. This rich, comforting recipe is cheesy, delicious, and packed with hidden veggies (like spinach!).
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. The mixture will start to thicken. Set aside.
In a large baking dish or shallow Dutch oven, toss together the chicken, shallot, sundried tomatoes, garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper, and black pepper. (I usually use my hands.)
Add the spinach underneath and around the seasoned chicken breast.
Pour cream mixture around the chicken.
Bake for 10 minutes covered so the spinach can wilt. Uncover and another 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees in the thickest part of the chicken breast.
Add the cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes or until it is melted.
