Tips for Experienced Cooks

Add depth to your creamy sauce by deglazing the pan with a splash of white wine after cooking the garlic, then reduce before adding the cream and Parmesan. Alternatively, a teaspoon of mustard or a hint of nutmeg can add complexity to the sauce. Experiment with roasting different vegetables based on the season for a varied flavor profile; asparagus or zucchini make great additions or substitutes. For an extra crispy finish on the garlic bread, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning on top before toasting.

Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare chicken

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Step 2: Prepare the vegetable mixture

In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread the mixture around the chicken in the baking dish.

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step 3: Bake the chicken and vegetables

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Make the creamy sauce

In a saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Step 5: Prepare the garlic bread

Toast the Italian bread slices and rub with a clove of garlic for garlic bread.

  • 4 slices Italian bread
  • 1 clove garlic

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

Serve the creamy Tuscan chicken with the roasted vegetables and garlic bread.
