This keto Tuscan chicken recipe quickly became a family favorite. It’s bursting with flavor and surprisingly easy to make.

The creamy, flavorful sauce is the star of the show, and it pairs perfectly with the tender, seasoned chicken breasts.

How To Make Keto Tuscan Chicken

To make this creamy Tuscan garlic chicken, begin by slicing the chicken breast in half horizontally, and then season it with salt and pepper.

Next, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat. I used a cast-iron skillet because it is a great conductor of heat, but any similar pan would work.

Brown the chicken breasts in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

In the same pan in which you cooked the chicken, sauté the garlic for about a minute. Then add the chicken stock and tomato paste and deglaze the pan, scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Then you’ll lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, then season with Italian spices, chili flakes, thyme, and oregano.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the spinach leaves, then put the chicken back in the sauce. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few minutes, then allow the spinach to wilt.

Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve over cauliflower rice.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 weeks.
