Creamy Tuscan Chicken
Seared chicken in a garlicky cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. An elegant, one-pan keto dinner that tastes far fancier than the effort involved.
A one-pan dinner that feels like a splurge
Creamy Tuscan chicken hits the sweet spot between weeknight simple and dinner-party impressive. Golden seared chicken rests in a velvety parmesan cream sauce studded with sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
The whole thing comes together in one skillet, and because the richness comes from cream and cheese rather than flour, it stays low in carbs while feeling indulgent.
- Sear the chicken hard for the best color
- Use the fond in the pan to build the sauce
- Add spinach last so it just wilts

Recipe FAQ
Are sun-dried tomatoes keto?
In small amounts, yes. They are concentrated so the carbs add up quickly, but a third of a cup spread across four servings keeps this dish comfortably low in net carbs.
Can I use chicken thighs?
Definitely. Boneless thighs work beautifully and stay extra juicy. Adjust the sear time down slightly and cook until they reach 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
