  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 ounces Parmesan grated
  • 2 1/2 ounces spinach leaves

Notes

Make Ahead
Fully make creamy tuscan chicken as instructed, except don't add the Parmesan cheese. Cool and transfer dish to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Best Way to Reheat
Pour sauce into a skillet and gently simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir Parmesan into sauce and continue to simmer until sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes. Nestle chicken breasts into the simmering sauce and continue to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken has warmed through.
