Tuscan-inspired flavors meet a lightened-up twist in this low carb, Weight Watchers friendly Creamy Tuscan Chicken.

It’s rich, savory, and comforting, but made with ingredients that keep it healthier and guilt-free.

The Ingredients

Chicken Breast: A lean protein that’s low in fat and helps keep you satisfied.

Olive Oil: Provides healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health.

Shallots & Garlic: Both are rich in antioxidants and add depth of flavor without extra calories.

Sun-dried Tomatoes: Packed with antioxidants like lycopene, vitamins, and fiber.

White Cooking Wine: Adds depth and acidity to the sauce. When cooked, most of the alcohol evaporates, leaving behind flavor without extra calories.

Reduced-fat Cream Cheese: Gives the sauce a creamy texture without excessive saturated fat.

Parmesan Cheese: Adds a nutty, savory flavor in small amounts while also offering calcium.

How to Make Tuscan Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165 degrees F internal temperature). Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook shallot for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.

Stir in white cooking wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add chicken broth and whisk in cream cheese until smooth.

Mix in sun-dried tomatoes, remaining Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until just wilted. Stir in Parmesan. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top.

Serving Suggestions

Zucchini noodles – Perfect for soaking up that creamy Tuscan sauce.
Cauliflower rice – Light, fluffy, and keeps the meal low in carbs.
Roasted vegetables – Try broccoli, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts for extra nutrients.
Side salad – A crisp garden salad with a light vinaigrette balances the richness of the dish.
