What is Tuscan chicken sauce made of?

Tuscan chicken sauce typically includes garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, spinach, and parmesan. In this one-pot version, chicken broth and a touch of pasta starch from cooking the spaghetti help create a creamy, velvety texture without needing extra flour or butter.

What does Tuscan chicken go well with?

Tuscan chicken pairs beautifully with spaghetti, rice, or crusty bread. It also works with roasted vegetables, a simple arugula salad, or steamed green beans. This One Pot Jerk Chicken and Rice offers another bold pairing if you’re rotating meals for the week.

What cheese is best for chicken spaghetti?

Freshly grated parmesan is ideal for Tuscan Chicken Spaghetti because it melts smoothly and adds savory depth. For a sharper twist, you can add a bit of pecorino romano or a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella for extra creaminess.

What’s the secret to perfectly crispy Tuscan chicken skin?

While this recipe uses diced chicken, for skin-on cuts, start with a hot pan and let the skin sear undisturbed for several minutes. Use minimal oil and avoid overcrowding the pan, moisture is the enemy of crisp skin. For solo meals like One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta , pan crisping is also a game-changer.

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Season diced chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

2. Add chicken to skillet and sear 3–4 minutes until golden. Don’t stir too often.

3. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Pour in chicken broth and add dry spaghetti. Stir and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add heavy cream and spinach. Stir until spinach wilts and sauce thickens, 2–3 minutes.

6. Stir in parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

Make it vegetarian by using white beans instead of chicken. For extra crispy chicken, sear longer without stirring. Try arugula or kale if you’re out of spinach.
