Creamy Tuscan Chicken
This popular skillet dinner earns its place because the sun-dried tomatoes cut through the cream with savory sweetness. I use their packing oil to brown the chicken, which builds flavor without adding another ingredient.
Thin cutlets are the weeknight advantage: they brown quickly and finish gently in the sauce. If yours are thick, slice them horizontally first. That prevents the outside from drying out while you wait for the middle to cook.
Mia's tips
- •Buy oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best texture.
- •Add spinach at the end so it stays green.
- •Taste before adding salt; parmesan and tomatoes are already salty.
