Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
For the Tuscan Sauce, cook the shallot in the pan until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 20-30 seconds, then add the sun-dried tomatoes for another minute.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping down any browned bits and simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Gently simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add spinach and chopped basil, stirring until wilted.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with fresh bread.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
This dish pairs well with a side of crusty bread for mopping up the delicious sauce.
Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
