2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 cup half and half
2 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
1 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. Lay each piece of chicken into the mixture and toss until both sides are fully coated.
  • In a a large skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken into the pan, making sure not to rub off the coating. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side (making sure not to move it around) until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • While the chicken is baking, heat a large pot of water and cook the fettuccine according to the package's instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the noodles are cooking, set the same skillet used to sear the chicken over medium-low heat. Add the butter. When has melted, add the bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, milk and half & half. Turn heat up to medium and bring mixture to a simmer. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in parmesan cheese, then remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Add pasta and toss to combine.
  • Serve pasta in bowls topped with sliced chicken and extra parmesan cheese.

OLIVE GARDEN TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN

This is a copycat of Olive Garden's Tuscan Garlic Chicken. If fettuccine pasta is not available, use a noodle that is similar or something spirally. The sauce is a lighter alfredo style sauce and spaghetti is not a good match for this type of sauce.

TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Tuscan Garlic Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-33954

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic (about 4-5 cloves)
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips or chopped
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup lowfat milk
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound fettuccine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F In a shallow pie plate or similar dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture until both sides are well coated. In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the pan, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and browned but not cooked all the way through (they'll finish up in the oven). Don't scoot the chicken around once you lay it in the hot oil! Let the oil work it's magic to sear the crust on the chicken. If you get antsy and try flipping too early and/or moving the chicken around the pan, the breading is likely to fall off. Gently remove the chicken to a foil-lined, lightly greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside and tent with foil until ready to use. While the chicken is cooking, heat a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles, cooking until al dente. Also, wipe out the skillet with a couple paper towels and return it to medium heat, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and bell pepper, sauteing for 2-3 minutes. Stir in one tablespoon flour and stir constantly while cooking for another minute. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring the mixture to a low simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. In a small liquid measure, whisk together the cornstarch and cream. Add the spinach, milk and cream mixture to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2-4 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. When the pasta has finished cooking, drain and return it to the pot. Toss the pasta with half of the cheese sauce. Place some of the coated pasta on each plate. Top with a breaded chicken breast and spoon some of the sauce over the top of the chicken and pasta. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your Tuscan Garlic Chicken. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, flavorful garlic, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it plenty of space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken to the right temperature: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before you remove it from the pan. This will ensure that it is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Tuscan Garlic Chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Tuscan Garlic Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful garlic sauce and tender chicken, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give Tuscan Garlic Chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
