Low Carb Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Low Carb Creamy Tuscan Chicken is so rich and creamy with lots of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a parmesan cream sauce. It is one of my very favorite low carb meals and it is perfect for the keto diet.

This elegant dinner is completely indulgent. It’s recipes like this that make it easy to follow a low carb diet.

The sun-dried tomatoes give this meal so much sweet, intense flavor. There’s also tons of garlic flavor in the sauce.

Tips for making Low Carb Creamy Tuscan Chicken:

• If you want the sauce to be rich and creamy, use heavy cream. Half-and-half or milk will not make a creamy sauce.
• Since chicken breasts are so large these days, I like to cut them in half horizontally into 2 thinner pieces. As a bonus, they cook faster.
• Add spinach in batches and it will cook down quick and easy.
• I like this chicken as is, but you could serve it over zucchini noddles or caulirice.
• Don’t skip the last step. The key to a great flavored sauce is to be sure you use plenty of salt and pepper.
