Tuscan Chicken

Seconds are a must when it comes to this creamy Tuscan chicken with sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan and spinach. With this 45-minute recipe, eating your greens has never been easier.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, optional
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup julienned soft sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)

Directions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. If desired, dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Brown chicken on both sides; remove from pan. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
  2. Add broth; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and garlic powder; cook over medium-low heat until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  3. Return chicken to pan; add spinach, tomatoes and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Cook, covered, until spinach is wilted and a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, 13-15 minutes.

Tacchino Tonnato Turkey with Tuna Sauce

This is a variation on a classic northern Italian dish, vitello tonnato, which is normally made with rare roast veal. If you've never had it, it seems like an unusual pairing, tuna and veal. But, oh, does it work. And the same goes for turkey. I first had this after my first Tuscan wine harvest when the winemaker's wife, Marisa, made it for us. She said she got it from the Silver Spoon cookbook, but I've never found it exactly the way she made it and she definitely didn't use any recipes to cook with. It's just the thing for serving at a party or to a large table of friends and family—it's ideal, too, for a buffet style dinner, as this is delicious cold or warm and it's an easy dish for people to help themselves to. I now like to add anchovies to the sauce and a couple of hard boiled eggs for extra creaminess and richness—in my opinion a better option than mayonnaise, but there is that too. You can try recreating this also with leftover turkey.
