How To Make It

Begin with Chicken

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half to create 4 thin cutlets. Season the chicken on both sides with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Spread the flour out on a medium plate and coat each of the chicken cutlets with flour.
3. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached and it’s no longer pink in the center.
5. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a plate.

Then Make the Sauce

1. Add the garlic and chicken broth to the pan and use a wooden spatula to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Allow the broth to come to a simmer.
2. Add in the Heavy Cream, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, and asiago cheese. Stir frequently until the cheese has melted. Bring the creamy mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.
3. Add in the vegetables and continue to stir until sauce begins to thicken and the fresh spinach begins to wilt. Add the chicken back into the pan and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes in the creamy sauce.
4. Serve by itself with a salad or with pasta. Garnish with parsley and add Parmesan cheese and additional salt and pepper to taste.

This simple recipe is made with chicken cutlets that are seasoned and dredged with flour.

Once cooked, they’re smothered in a rich creamy garlic sauce made with savory ingredients like spinach, sundried tomato, mushrooms, garlic, Asiago cheese, and Italian spices.

Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret!

To create a truly decadent cream sauce, there’s one ingredient that absolutely can’t be compromised: the cream, of course!

For me, the natural choice is to use Hood Cream, a brand that’s trusted by chefs as well as everyday consumers.

I’ve used Hood dairy products for years, and as I kid, I remember seeing their jugs and cartons in our fridge!

As an adult, I always use a splash of Hood Half & Half in my coffee for a rich, creamy caffeine kick first thing in the morning.

When it comes to dairy products (and your morning cup of coffee), you simply can’t skimp on quality!

So it should come as no surprise that when I created my Creamy Tuscan Chicken recipe, I automatically reached for Hood Heavy Cream.

In my opinion, it’s the key to making the best possible cream sauce.

In addition to being a quick and family-friendly meal, Creamy Tuscan Chicken is versatile and can be served a couple of different ways.

Naturally, it’s to die for over pasta (the noodles drenched in the cream sauce are so good — I recommend doubling the sauce recipe).

You can also lighten up this dish with a side salad or a scoop of steamed broccoli.

As “back to school season” draws near, Creamy Tuscan Chicken is a wonderful recipe to have on hand for an easy and hearty dinner to prepare after a long day.

With its rich sauce and zesty flavors, this dish will definitely become a family favorite!

Life is busy, but you can make Creamy Tuscan Chicken for a gourmet 30-minute meal any night of the week.

Made with quality ingredients like Hood Heavy Cream, this mouthwatering recipe is simple, wholesome, and totally delicious!
