Classic Tuscan chicken is famous for decadent heavy cream, but this smart nutritionist-approved makeover delivers all the rich, luxurious restaurant flavor with less than half the fat and calories! We swap heavy cream for silky whole-milk Greek yogurt, simmering tender chicken cutlets with sweet sun-dried tomatoes, earthy garlic, and fresh baby spinach.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1: Season chicken cutlets on both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F). Transfer to a warm plate.
  3. 3
    Step 3: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up flavorful browned bits from the pan. Turn off heat or reduce to lowest setting, then whisk in the room-temperature Greek yogurt and Parmesan until velvety.
  5. 5
    Step 5: Fold in fresh baby spinach until wilted in the warm sauce. Return chicken and rested juices back to the pan, spoon sauce over the meat, and serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Ensure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature and remove the pan from direct high heat before whisking it in to prevent curdling.
