I don’t recommend going with low-fat dairy for this recipe. \nMinced garlic:\n adds a depth of flavor. You can use pre-minced garlic or mince it yourself.\nCorn starch: \nthis acts as a thickening agent to make our sauce nice and thick. \nSundried tomatoes:\n these are more concentrated than regular tomatoes, adding a tart and tangy flavor to the sauce! Use the kind that comes packed with oil and spices for the best flavor. \nParmesan cheese: \nshredded parmesan cheese melts right into the sauce, giving it a tangy flavor! You can buy shredded Parmesan or shred it yourself from a block. \nFresh spinach: \nadding chopped spinach is an easy way to get your veggies in!\nLove these flavors? Try them in my\nTuscan Chicken Noodle Soup\n!\nHow to make Baked Tuscan Chicken:\nThis recipe couldn’t be simpler to whip up! Just follow the easy steps below—\ncheck out the\nrecipe card\nfor all the details\n.\nFlatten chicken breasts to an even thickness.\nWhisk cream, garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Pour around the chicken.\nFlatten raw chicken breasts so they are an even thickness\nSeason chicken and pour the cream sauce around the edges\nBake until the chicken is cooked through.\nStir fresh spinach into the sauce and let the chicken rest, covered with aluminum foil. Stir the sauce again if needed, then serve.\nOnce cooked, stir in the spinach\nCover and let chicken rest while the spinach wilts\nTips for the best baked chicken breast\nFlatten your chicken breasts\n \nso they are roughly the same size:\nthis will ensure they cook evenly and that one side doesn’t end up completely dried out! Simply cover in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or a small frying pan to flatten the thick end slightly.\nDry with paper towels\n: we want our chicken to roast and be golden and flavorful, so we don’t want any of the excess water that might be on it. Drying it before seasoning will give the best results!\nCover and let rest\n: at least 10 minutes! You can even let it rest for 20, and I promise it will be \nso\n juicy and hot. This keeps the juices inside the meat and gives the spinach a chance to wilt down in the sauce without becoming overcooked and slimy.\nInternal temperature:\nuse a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165ºF before eating. \nHow to store leftovers:\nThis Tuscan Chicken Breast is a great option for prepping ahead because it stores easily and is delicious reheated!\nYou can store leftover chicken an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, provided all of your ingredients are fresh.\nIf you stuck to the recipe and used heavy cream (low-fat dairy cannot be frozen), you can also store it in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months!\nWhat to serve with this chicken breast recipe:\nWe love this chicken breast recipe with plain, simple pasta, but you can also serve over these \nCream Cheese Mashed Potatoes\n for a touch of indulgence or these \nSlow Cooker Mashed Potatoes\n for a make-ahead option. \nThis Instant Pot Brown Rice is also a great complement for a healthier, gluten-free option.\nYou can also keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice!\nAlso, these \nBreadsticks\n do a great job of soaking up all that creamy sauce 😉\nThe chicken is as saucy as it is in these photos\n — it is enough sauce for us to serve with pasta, but the pasta is not drowning in sauce. If you want a lot of sauce, I would multiply the sauce recipe by 1.5 (so instead of 1 cup cream, use 1.5 cups, etc.)\n▢\n4\nboneless skinless chicken breasts\n,\n(breast halves)\n▢\n1\ntablespoon\ncanola oil\n▢\n½\nteaspoon\nsalt\n▢\n½\nteaspoon\nItalian seasoning\n▢\n¼\nteaspoon\npaprika\n▢\n⅛\nteaspoon\nblack pepper\nCream Sauce\n▢\n1\ncup\nheavy cream\n▢\n2\nteaspoons\nminced garlic\n▢\n1\nteaspoon\ncorn starch\n▢\n¼\nteaspoon\nsalt\n▢\n⅛\nteaspoon\nblack pepper\n▢\n⅓\ncup\nsundried tomatoes\n,\n(chopped)\n▢\n¼\ncup\nshredded Parmesan cheese\n▢\n½\ncup\nchopped fresh spinach\nPreheat oven to 425 degrees F.\nPlace chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin, smooth meat mallet or small frying pan to flatten the thick side of the chicken so that it is roughly an even thickness.\nPlace chicken breasts in a 9×13\" baking dish (or a larger one if you are using very large chicken breasts — you don't want them smushed together or they will take longer to cook).\nCombine &frac12; teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and &frac18; teaspoon pepper. Drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning (I just do the top, since the bottom will be sitting in sauce).\nWhisk together cream, garlic, corn starch, salt and pepper until combined. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pour around the chicken in the baking dish (it shouldn't cover the chicken completely, but it won't hurt anything if it does).\nBake at 425 degrees F for 16-20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached in the thickets part of the chicken (the exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts).\nRemove pan from oven and stir spinach into sauce. The sauce may separate as it cooks (it is NOT curdled!) — just give it a stir and it will come together. Cover pan and allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while the spinach wilts.\nUncover and serve.\n*1 serving is 1 chicken breast with roughly &frac12; cup of sauce\nVariations and substitutions:\nBoneless chicken thighs\n: You can absolutely swap for boneless chicken thighs without changing the rest of the recipe! You will likely want to use twice as many thighs as the breasts called for.\nCheese:\n If you don’t want to use parmesan cheese, you could swap it with asiago, Romano, or pecorino cheese!\nCream\n: I know it’s tempting to swap the heavy cream for a lighter variety, but be careful because lower-fat dairy cannot be cooked at a high temperature without curdling.\nSun-dried tomatoes\n: I know these can be hard to come by at times, but I just love the subtle flavor they add! A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor!\nSeasoning\n: You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce.\nSpinach\n: You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist!\nCalories:\n423\ncal\n,\nCarbohydrates:\n9\ng\n,\nProtein:\n29\ng\n,\nFat:\n31\ng\n,\nSaturated Fat:\n16\ng\n,\nTrans Fat:\n1\ng\n,\nCholesterol:\n159\nmg\n,\nSodium:\n712\nmg\n,\nPotassium:\n823\nmg\n,\nFiber:\n1\ng\n,\nSugar:\n4\ng\n,\nVitamin A:\n1461\nIU\n,\nVitamin C:\n7\nmg\n,\nCalcium:\n137\nmg\n,\nIron:\n2\nmg\nNutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.\nWant to save this recipe?\nCreate an account easily save your favorite content, so you never forget a recipe again.\nRegister Now\nTried this recipe?\nTag @thereciperebel or hashtag #thereciperebel —\u2028I love to see what you’re making!\nTag @thereciperebel\nMore baked chicken breast recipes:\nThe Easiest Lemon Chicken Recipe\n— with a creamy lemon parmesan sauce.\nBaked Monterey Chicken\n— with barbecue sauce, bacon and fresh tomatoes.\nBaked Chicken Breast\n— simply seasoned and perfect for meal prepping.\nBaked Honey Garlic Chicken\n— sweet and tangy.\nMeet Ashley\nMy name is Ashley Fehr and I love creating easy meals my family loves.

Use a rolling pin, smooth meat mallet or small frying pan to flatten the thick side of the chicken so that it is roughly an even thickness.\n- Place chicken breasts in a 9×13\" baking dish (or a larger one if you are using very large chicken breasts — you don't want them smushed together or they will take longer to cook).\n- Combine \\&frac12; teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and \\&frac18; teaspoon pepper. Drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning (I just do the top, since the bottom will be sitting in sauce).\n- Whisk together cream, garlic, corn starch, salt and pepper until combined. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pour around the chicken in the baking dish (it shouldn't cover the chicken completely, but it won't hurt anything if it does).\n- Bake at 425 degrees F for 16-20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached in the thickets part of the chicken (the exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts).\n- Remove pan from oven and stir spinach into sauce. The sauce may separate as it cooks (it is NOT curdled!) — just give it a stir and it will come together. Cover pan and allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while the spinach wilts.\n- Uncover and serve.\n### Video\n### Notes\n\\*1 serving is 1 chicken breast with roughly \\&frac12; cup of sauce\n\n### Variations and substitutions:\n- **Boneless chicken thighs**: You can absolutely swap for boneless chicken thighs without changing the rest of the recipe! You will likely want to use twice as many thighs as the breasts called for.\n- **Cheese:** If you don’t want to use parmesan cheese, you could swap it with asiago, Romano, or pecorino cheese\\!\n- **Cream**: I know it’s tempting to swap the heavy cream for a lighter variety, but be careful because lower-fat dairy cannot be cooked at a high temperature without curdling.\n- **Sun-dried tomatoes**: I know these can be hard to come by at times, but I just love the subtle flavor they add! A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor\\!\n- **Seasoning**: You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce.\n- **Spinach**: You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist\\!\n\n### Nutrition\nCalories: 423cal, Carbohydrates: 9g, Protein: 29g, Fat: 31g, Saturated Fat: 16g, Trans Fat: 1g, Cholesterol: 159mg, Sodium: 712mg, Potassium: 823mg, Fiber: 1g, Sugar: 4g, Vitamin A: 1461IU, Vitamin C: 7mg, Calcium: 137mg, Iron: 2mg\n\nNutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.\n\nWant to save this recipe?\n\nCreate an account easily save your favorite content, so you never forget a recipe again.\n\n[Register Now](https:\/\/thereciperebelcom.bigscoots-staging.com\/slow-cooker-chicken-breast\/)\n\nTried this recipe?\n\nTag @thereciperebel or hashtag \\#thereciperebel — I love to see what you’re making\\!\n\n[Tag @thereciperebel](https:\/\/instagram.com\/thereciperebel)\n## More baked chicken breast recipes:\n- [The Easiest Lemon Chicken Recipe](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/the-easiest-lemon-chicken-recipe\/) — with a creamy lemon parmesan sauce.\n- [Baked Monterey Chicken](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-monterey-chicken\/) — with barbecue sauce, bacon and fresh tomatoes.\n- [Baked Chicken Breast](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-chicken-breast\/) — simply seasoned and perfect for meal prepping.\n- [Baked Honey Garlic Chicken](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-honey-garlic-chicken\/) — sweet and tangy.\n\n[Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts\/&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button \"Share on Facebook\")\n\n[Pin](https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts\/&media=https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-1200-12-of-34.jpg&description=This%20Baked%20Tuscan%20Chicken%20Breast%20is%20an%20easy%20meal%20ready%20in%2030%20minutes%20or%20less%21%20With%20a%20creamy%20sauce%20that%26%23039%3Bs%20perfect%20over%20pasta.%20%23chicken%20%23dinner%20%23recipes \"Share on Pinterest\")\n\n[Email](mailto:?subject=Your%20friend%20has%20shared%20an%20article%20with%20you.&body=Creamy%20Baked%20Tuscan%20Chicken%20Breasts%0D%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.thereciperebel.com%2Fbaked-tuscan-chicken-breasts%2F%0D%0A \"Share via Email\")\n\n![](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2096%2096'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/51bfda07ffa2b79ee4cdee666cc787f781c3ea2e096178c0a9d6270eab3dff05?s=96&d=mm&r=g)\n\n#### Meet Ashley\nMy name is Ashley Fehr and I love creating easy meals my family loves.

Just follow the easy steps below—**check out the [recipe card](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts\/#wprm-recipe-container-21534) for all the details**.\n\n- Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness.\n- Whisk cream, garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Pour around the chicken.\n\n![raw chicken breasts on cutting board with plastic wrap on top](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-1-of-34.jpg)\n\nFlatten raw chicken breasts so they are an even thickness\n\n![tuscan sauce poured over raw chicken breasts](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-2-of-34.jpg)\n\nSeason chicken and pour the cream sauce around the edges\n\n- Bake until the chicken is cooked through.\n- Stir fresh spinach into the sauce and let the chicken rest, covered with aluminum foil.

Simply cover in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or a small frying pan to flatten the thick end slightly.\n- **Dry with paper towels**: we want our chicken to roast and be golden and flavorful, so we don’t want any of the excess water that might be on it. Drying it before seasoning will give the best results\\!\n- **Cover and let rest**: at least 10 minutes! You can even let it rest for 20, and I promise it will be *so* juicy and hot. This keeps the juices inside the meat and gives the spinach a chance to wilt down in the sauce without becoming overcooked and slimy.\n- **Internal temperature:** use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165ºF before eating.\n\n![large dish filled with four baked tuscan chicken breasts.](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts-TRR-1200-6-of-26.jpg)\n\n## How to store leftovers:\nThis Tuscan Chicken Breast is a great option for prepping ahead because it stores easily and is delicious reheated\\!\n\nYou can store leftover chicken an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, provided all of your ingredients are fresh.\n\nIf you stuck to the recipe and used heavy cream (low-fat dairy cannot be frozen), you can also store it in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months\\!\n\n## What to serve with this chicken breast recipe:\nWe love this chicken breast recipe with plain, simple pasta, but you can also serve over these [Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/cream-cheese-mashed-potatoes\/) for a touch of indulgence or these [Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes\/) for a make-ahead option.\n\nThis Instant Pot Brown Rice is also a great complement for a healthier, gluten-free option.\n\nYou can also keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice\\!\n\nAlso, these [Breadsticks](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/homemade-breadsticks\/) do a great job of soaking up all that creamy sauce 😉\n\n**The chicken is as saucy as it is in these photos** — it is enough sauce for us to serve with pasta, but the pasta is not drowning in sauce. If you want a lot of sauce, I would multiply the sauce recipe by 1.5 (so instead of 1 cup cream, use 1.5 cups, etc.)\n\n- ▢\n  4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , (breast halves)\n- ▢\n  1 tablespoon canola oil\n- ▢\n  ½ teaspoon salt\n- ▢\n  ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning\n- ▢\n  ¼ teaspoon paprika\n- ▢\n  ⅛ teaspoon black pepper\n\n#### Cream Sauce\n- ▢\n  1 cup heavy cream\n- ▢\n  2 teaspoons minced garlic\n- ▢\n  1 teaspoon corn starch\n- ▢\n  ¼ teaspoon salt\n- ▢\n  ⅛ teaspoon black pepper\n- ▢\n  ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes, (chopped)\n- ▢\n  ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese\n- ▢\n  ½ cup chopped fresh spinach\n\n- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.\n- Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin, smooth meat mallet or small frying pan to flatten the thick side of the chicken so that it is roughly an even thickness.\n- Place chicken breasts in a 9×13\" baking dish (or a larger one if you are using very large chicken breasts — you don't want them smushed together or they will take longer to cook).\n- Combine \\&frac12; teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and \\&frac18; teaspoon pepper. Drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning (I just do the top, since the bottom will be sitting in sauce).\n- Whisk together cream, garlic, corn starch, salt and pepper until combined. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pour around the chicken in the baking dish (it shouldn't cover the chicken completely, but it won't hurt anything if it does).\n- Bake at 425 degrees F for 16-20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached in the thickets part of the chicken (the exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts).\n- Remove pan from oven and stir spinach into sauce. The sauce may separate as it cooks (it is NOT curdled!) — just give it a stir and it will come together. Cover pan and allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while the spinach wilts.\n- Uncover and serve.\n\n\\*1 serving is 1 chicken breast with roughly \\&frac12; cup of sauce\n\n### Variations and substitutions:\n- **Boneless chicken thighs**: You can absolutely swap for boneless chicken thighs without changing the rest of the recipe! You will likely want to use twice as many thighs as the breasts called for.\n- **Cheese:** If you don’t want to use parmesan cheese, you could swap it with asiago, Romano, or pecorino cheese\\!\n- **Cream**: I know it’s tempting to swap the heavy cream for a lighter variety, but be careful because lower-fat dairy cannot be cooked at a high temperature without curdling.\n- **Sun-dried tomatoes**: I know these can be hard to come by at times, but I just love the subtle flavor they add! A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor\\!\n- **Seasoning**: You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce.\n- **Spinach**: You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist\\!\n\nCalories: 423cal, Carbohydrates: 9g, Protein: 29g, Fat: 31g, Saturated Fat: 16g, Trans Fat: 1g, Cholesterol: 159mg, Sodium: 712mg, Potassium: 823mg, Fiber: 1g, Sugar: 4g, Vitamin A: 1461IU, Vitamin C: 7mg, Calcium: 137mg, Iron: 2mg\n\nNutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.\n\nWant to save this recipe?\n\nCreate an account easily save your favorite content, so you never forget a recipe again.\n\n[Register Now](https:\/\/thereciperebelcom.bigscoots-staging.com\/slow-cooker-chicken-breast\/)\n\nTried this recipe?\n\nTag @thereciperebel or hashtag \\#thereciperebel — I love to see what you’re making\\!\n\n[Tag @thereciperebel](https:\/\/instagram.com\/thereciperebel)\n## More baked chicken breast recipes:\n- [The Easiest Lemon Chicken Recipe](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/the-easiest-lemon-chicken-recipe\/) — with a creamy lemon parmesan sauce.\n- [Baked Monterey Chicken](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-monterey-chicken\/) — with barbecue sauce, bacon and fresh tomatoes.\n- [Baked Chicken Breast](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-chicken-breast\/) — simply seasoned and perfect for meal prepping.\n- [Baked Honey Garlic Chicken](https:\/\/www.thereciperebel.com\/baked-honey-garlic-chicken\/) — sweet and tangy.\n\n![](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/51bfda07ffa2b79ee4cdee666cc787f781c3ea2e096178c0a9d6270eab3dff05?s=96&d=mm&r=g)\n\n#### Meet Ashley\nMy name is Ashley Fehr and I love creating easy meals my family loves.

A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor! Seasoning : You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce. Spinach : You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist!

I don’t recommend going with low-fat dairy for this recipe. - Minced garlic: adds a depth of flavor. You can use pre-minced garlic or mince it yourself. - Corn starch: this acts as a thickening agent to make our sauce nice and thick. - Sundried tomatoes: these are more concentrated than regular tomatoes, adding a tart and tangy flavor to the sauce! Use the kind that comes packed with oil and spices for the best flavor. - Parmesan cheese: shredded parmesan cheese melts right into the sauce, giving it a tangy flavor! You can buy shredded Parmesan or shred it yourself from a block. - Fresh spinach: adding chopped spinach is an easy way to get your veggies in\! Love these flavors? Try them in my [Tuscan Chicken Noodle Soup](https://www.thereciperebel.com/tuscan-chicken-noodle-soup/)\! ## How to make Baked Tuscan Chicken: This recipe couldn’t be simpler to whip up! Just follow the easy steps below—check out the [recipe card](https://www.thereciperebel.com/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts/#wprm-recipe-container-21534) for all the details. - Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness. - Whisk cream, garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Pour around the chicken. ![raw chicken breasts on cutting board with plastic wrap on top](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![raw chicken breasts on cutting board with plastic wrap on top](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-1-of-34.jpg) Flatten raw chicken breasts so they are an even thickness ![tuscan sauce poured over raw chicken breasts](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![tuscan sauce poured over raw chicken breasts](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-2-of-34.jpg) Season chicken and pour the cream sauce around the edges - Bake until the chicken is cooked through. - Stir fresh spinach into the sauce and let the chicken rest, covered with aluminum foil. Stir the sauce again if needed, then serve. ![spinach added to baked chicken breasts with sauce](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![spinach added to baked chicken breasts with sauce](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-3-of-34.jpg) Once cooked, stir in the spinach ![baking dish covered in foil](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![baking dish covered in foil](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-5-of-34.jpg) Cover and let chicken rest while the spinach wilts ## Tips for the best baked chicken breast - Flatten your chicken breasts so they are roughly the same size: this will ensure they cook evenly and that one side doesn’t end up completely dried out! Simply cover in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or a small frying pan to flatten the thick end slightly. - Dry with paper towels: we want our chicken to roast and be golden and flavorful, so we don’t want any of the excess water that might be on it. Drying it before seasoning will give the best results\! - Cover and let rest: at least 10 minutes! You can even let it rest for 20, and I promise it will be so juicy and hot. This keeps the juices inside the meat and gives the spinach a chance to wilt down in the sauce without becoming overcooked and slimy. - Internal temperature: use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165ºF before eating. ![large dish filled with four baked tuscan chicken breasts.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![large dish filled with four baked tuscan chicken breasts.](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts-TRR-1200-6-of-26.jpg) ## How to store leftovers: This Tuscan Chicken Breast is a great option for prepping ahead because it stores easily and is delicious reheated\! You can store leftover chicken an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, provided all of your ingredients are fresh. If you stuck to the recipe and used heavy cream (low-fat dairy cannot be frozen), you can also store it in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months\! ## What to serve with this chicken breast recipe: We love this chicken breast recipe with plain, simple pasta, but you can also serve over these [Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes](https://www.thereciperebel.com/cream-cheese-mashed-potatoes/) for a touch of indulgence or these [Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes](https://www.thereciperebel.com/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes/) for a make-ahead option. This Instant Pot Brown Rice is also a great complement for a healthier, gluten-free option. You can also keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice\! Also, these [Breadsticks](https://www.thereciperebel.com/homemade-breadsticks/) do a great job of soaking up all that creamy sauce 😉 ## Like it extra saucy? The chicken is as saucy as it is in these photos — it is enough sauce for us to serve with pasta, but the pasta is not drowning in sauce. If you want a lot of sauce, I would multiply the sauce recipe by 1.5 (so instead of 1 cup cream, use 1.5 cups, etc.) ## Baked Tuscan Chicken Breast [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2032%2032'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51bfda07ffa2b79ee4cdee666cc787f781c3ea2e096178c0a9d6270eab3dff05?s=32&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.thereciperebel.com/about-me/)written by [Ashley Fehr](https://www.thereciperebel.com/about-me/) This Baked Tuscan Chicken Breast is an easy meal ready in 30 minutes or less!

Use a rolling pin, smooth meat mallet or small frying pan to flatten the thick side of the chicken so that it is roughly an even thickness. - Place chicken breasts in a 9×13" baking dish (or a larger one if you are using very large chicken breasts — you don't want them smushed together or they will take longer to cook). - Combine \½ teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and \&frac18; teaspoon pepper. Drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning (I just do the top, since the bottom will be sitting in sauce). - Whisk together cream, garlic, corn starch, salt and pepper until combined. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pour around the chicken in the baking dish (it shouldn't cover the chicken completely, but it won't hurt anything if it does). - Bake at 425 degrees F for 16-20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached in the thickets part of the chicken (the exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts). - Remove pan from oven and stir spinach into sauce. The sauce may separate as it cooks (it is NOT curdled!) — just give it a stir and it will come together. Cover pan and allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while the spinach wilts. - Uncover and serve. ### Video ### Notes \1 serving is 1 chicken breast with roughly \½ cup of sauce ### Variations and substitutions: - Boneless chicken thighs: You can absolutely swap for boneless chicken thighs without changing the rest of the recipe! You will likely want to use twice as many thighs as the breasts called for. - Cheese:* If you don’t want to use parmesan cheese, you could swap it with asiago, Romano, or pecorino cheese\! - Cream: I know it’s tempting to swap the heavy cream for a lighter variety, but be careful because lower-fat dairy cannot be cooked at a high temperature without curdling. - Sun-dried tomatoes: I know these can be hard to come by at times, but I just love the subtle flavor they add! A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor\! - Seasoning: You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce. - Spinach: You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist\! ### Nutrition Calories: 423cal, Carbohydrates: 9g, Protein: 29g, Fat: 31g, Saturated Fat: 16g, Trans Fat: 1g, Cholesterol: 159mg, Sodium: 712mg, Potassium: 823mg, Fiber: 1g, Sugar: 4g, Vitamin A: 1461IU, Vitamin C: 7mg, Calcium: 137mg, Iron: 2mg Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.

I don’t recommend going with low-fat dairy for this recipe. - Minced garlic: adds a depth of flavor. You can use pre-minced garlic or mince it yourself. - Corn starch: this acts as a thickening agent to make our sauce nice and thick. - Sundried tomatoes: these are more concentrated than regular tomatoes, adding a tart and tangy flavor to the sauce! Use the kind that comes packed with oil and spices for the best flavor. - Parmesan cheese: shredded parmesan cheese melts right into the sauce, giving it a tangy flavor! You can buy shredded Parmesan or shred it yourself from a block. - Fresh spinach: adding chopped spinach is an easy way to get your veggies in\! Love these flavors? Try them in my [Tuscan Chicken Noodle Soup](https://www.thereciperebel.com/tuscan-chicken-noodle-soup/)\! ## How to make Baked Tuscan Chicken: This recipe couldn’t be simpler to whip up! Just follow the easy steps below—check out the [recipe card](https://www.thereciperebel.com/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts/#wprm-recipe-container-21534) for all the details. - Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness. - Whisk cream, garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Pour around the chicken. ![raw chicken breasts on cutting board with plastic wrap on top](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-1-of-34.jpg) Flatten raw chicken breasts so they are an even thickness ![tuscan sauce poured over raw chicken breasts](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-2-of-34.jpg) Season chicken and pour the cream sauce around the edges - Bake until the chicken is cooked through. - Stir fresh spinach into the sauce and let the chicken rest, covered with aluminum foil. Stir the sauce again if needed, then serve. ![spinach added to baked chicken breasts with sauce](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-3-of-34.jpg) Once cooked, stir in the spinach ![baking dish covered in foil](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/baked-tuscan-chicken-www.thereciperebel.com-600-5-of-34.jpg) Cover and let chicken rest while the spinach wilts ## Tips for the best baked chicken breast - Flatten your chicken breasts so they are roughly the same size: this will ensure they cook evenly and that one side doesn’t end up completely dried out! Simply cover in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or a small frying pan to flatten the thick end slightly. - Dry with paper towels: we want our chicken to roast and be golden and flavorful, so we don’t want any of the excess water that might be on it. Drying it before seasoning will give the best results\! - Cover and let rest: at least 10 minutes! You can even let it rest for 20, and I promise it will be so juicy and hot. This keeps the juices inside the meat and gives the spinach a chance to wilt down in the sauce without becoming overcooked and slimy. - Internal temperature: use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165ºF before eating. ![large dish filled with four baked tuscan chicken breasts.](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/baked-tuscan-chicken-breasts-TRR-1200-6-of-26.jpg) ## How to store leftovers: This Tuscan Chicken Breast is a great option for prepping ahead because it stores easily and is delicious reheated\! You can store leftover chicken an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, provided all of your ingredients are fresh. If you stuck to the recipe and used heavy cream (low-fat dairy cannot be frozen), you can also store it in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months\! ## What to serve with this chicken breast recipe: We love this chicken breast recipe with plain, simple pasta, but you can also serve over these [Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes](https://www.thereciperebel.com/cream-cheese-mashed-potatoes/) for a touch of indulgence or these [Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes](https://www.thereciperebel.com/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes/) for a make-ahead option. This Instant Pot Brown Rice is also a great complement for a healthier, gluten-free option. You can also keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice\! Also, these [Breadsticks](https://www.thereciperebel.com/homemade-breadsticks/) do a great job of soaking up all that creamy sauce 😉 The chicken is as saucy as it is in these photos — it is enough sauce for us to serve with pasta, but the pasta is not drowning in sauce. If you want a lot of sauce, I would multiply the sauce recipe by 1.5 (so instead of 1 cup cream, use 1.5 cups, etc.) - ▢ 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , (breast halves) - ▢ 1 tablespoon canola oil - ▢ ½ teaspoon salt - ▢ ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning - ▢ ¼ teaspoon paprika - ▢ ⅛ teaspoon black pepper #### Cream Sauce - ▢ 1 cup heavy cream - ▢ 2 teaspoons minced garlic - ▢ 1 teaspoon corn starch - ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt - ▢ ⅛ teaspoon black pepper - ▢ ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes, (chopped) - ▢ ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese - ▢ ½ cup chopped fresh spinach - Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. - Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin, smooth meat mallet or small frying pan to flatten the thick side of the chicken so that it is roughly an even thickness. - Place chicken breasts in a 9×13" baking dish (or a larger one if you are using very large chicken breasts — you don't want them smushed together or they will take longer to cook). - Combine \½ teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and \&frac18; teaspoon pepper. Drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning (I just do the top, since the bottom will be sitting in sauce). - Whisk together cream, garlic, corn starch, salt and pepper until combined. Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pour around the chicken in the baking dish (it shouldn't cover the chicken completely, but it won't hurt anything if it does). - Bake at 425 degrees F for 16-20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached in the thickets part of the chicken (the exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts). - Remove pan from oven and stir spinach into sauce. The sauce may separate as it cooks (it is NOT curdled!) — just give it a stir and it will come together. Cover pan and allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while the spinach wilts. - Uncover and serve. \1 serving is 1 chicken breast with roughly \½ cup of sauce ### Variations and substitutions: - Boneless chicken thighs: You can absolutely swap for boneless chicken thighs without changing the rest of the recipe! You will likely want to use twice as many thighs as the breasts called for. - Cheese:* If you don’t want to use parmesan cheese, you could swap it with asiago, Romano, or pecorino cheese\! - Cream: I know it’s tempting to swap the heavy cream for a lighter variety, but be careful because lower-fat dairy cannot be cooked at a high temperature without curdling. - Sun-dried tomatoes: I know these can be hard to come by at times, but I just love the subtle flavor they add! A couple other options would be fresh cherry tomatoes or jarred roasted red peppers — they’ll both add a nice pop of flavor\! - Seasoning: You can absolutely play with the seasoning as long as you choose herbs and spices that pair well with the sauce. - Spinach: You can leave it out if you want. I love that it adds a pop of color and a boost in the nutritional value. You can swap for other vegetables if you prefer: green beans or mushrooms could be added at the beginning of the cook time for a new twist\!
