Provided by Geri

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken breast cutlets (or 2 large breasts cut in half lengthwise)
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
cracked pepper to taste
1/4 cup fat free chicken stock
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup unsweetened, plain almond milk
1/3 cup half and half
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best, or the kind in the refrigerated section)
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes NOT packed in oil*
2 cups fresh baby spinach, loosely packed

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add olive oil and a spritz of cooking spray to the pan. Swirl oil around to coat. Add chicken and sear until golden brown and mostly cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • Lower heat to medium. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken stock in to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk, half and half, and cornstarch. Add this mixture to the pan and bring to a simmer.
  • Mix basil, oregano, and sundried tomatoes into the sauce. Continue to simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add parmesan and spinach. Stir until cheese is melted into the sauce and spinach is just wilted. Place chicken and juices back in the skillet and simmer until chicken is heated through. Taste sauce for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes off the heat, so chicken can rest and the sauce can thicken a bit more.

TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Tuscan Garlic Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-33954

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic (about 4-5 cloves)
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips or chopped
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup lowfat milk
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound fettuccine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F In a shallow pie plate or similar dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture until both sides are well coated. In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the pan, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and browned but not cooked all the way through (they'll finish up in the oven). Don't scoot the chicken around once you lay it in the hot oil! Let the oil work it's magic to sear the crust on the chicken. If you get antsy and try flipping too early and/or moving the chicken around the pan, the breading is likely to fall off. Gently remove the chicken to a foil-lined, lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside and tent with foil until ready to use. While the chicken is cooking, heat a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles, cooking until al dente. Also, wipe out the skillet with a couple paper towels and return it to medium heat, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and bell pepper, sauteing for 2-3 minutes. Stir in one tablespoon flour and stir constantly while cooking for another minute. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring the mixture to a low simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. In a small liquid measure, whisk together the cornstarch and cream. Add the spinach, milk and cream mixture to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2-4 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. When the pasta has finished cooking, drain and return it to the pot. Toss the pasta with half of the cheese sauce. Place some of the coated pasta on each plate. Top with a breaded chicken breast and spoon some of the sauce over the top of the chicken and pasta. Serve immediately.

This is a copycat of Olive Garden's Tuscan Garlic Chicken. If fettuccine pasta is not available, use a noodle that is similar or something spirally. The sauce is a lighter alfredo style sauce and spaghetti is not a good match for this type of sauce.
