Instructions

Season chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and reserved sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken thighs for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer cooked chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
For the Tuscan sauce, cook shallots in the pan until soft, about 3 minutes.
Stir in garlic and sauté for 20-30 seconds, then add sun-dried tomato strips for another minute.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping down browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, and adjust seasonings as needed.
Add spinach and chopped basil until wilted.
Return cooked chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over it. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with fresh crusty bread.

Notes

Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast for a leaner option.
Pair with your favorite pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.
This dish can be made in advance and reheated, making it a great meal prep choice.
