How To Make creamy tuscan chicken

Step 1

To make the chicken, season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and oil.
Step 3

When hot and sizzling, place the chicken pieces, seasoned side down, and season the top with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Step 4

Cook until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
Step 5

To make the sauce, melt the butter in the same skillet before adding onions and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
Step 6

Stir in heavy cream and broth; bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until sauce reduces slightly, about 3 minutes.
Step 7

Add cheese and stir until blended. Add spinach and cook until it just starts to wilt, 1 to 1 and a half minutes.
Step 8

Add red pepper flakes and return chicken to skillet, including any accumulated juices. Spoon sauce over and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
