Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create Creamy Tuscan Chicken Meal Prep:
1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
5. Incorporate Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is well mixed.
6. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and stir until melted and combined.
8. Cool and Portion: Allow the dish to cool slightly before dividing it into meal prep containers.
