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.

How is this Tuscan chicken creamy while keeping calories under 350?

We replace heavy whipping cream with a blend of unsweetened almond milk or half-and-half combined with light cream cheese or Greek yogurt, keeping the sauce velvety without excess saturated fat.

Can I use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil?

Yes, drain the excess oil well and pat with a paper towel. You can even use 1 teaspoon of the flavorful sun-dried tomato oil to sear the chicken cutlets.

Can I freeze creamy Tuscan garlic chicken?

Cream sauces made with dairy can separate when frozen and thawed. It is best enjoyed fresh or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serve over a bed of zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, roasted spaghetti squash, or whole grain pasta with a side of steamed green beans.
