Creamy Tuscan Chicken

SAH mom, dear husband, dear daughter, dear twin sons, floppy eared fur-baby. Love to teach, garden, cook, sew and craft, occasional computer geek for children!!

I have a lot to say about this chicken. I really do. The first thing I will say is that it’s one of the most delicious chicken dishes I have made in a while. The second thing I will say is that it also might be one of the prettiest. We’ll have to throw our thanks for all of the above to a bit of cream, cherry tomatoes, spinach and fresh herbs.

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more to taste

1 teaspoon ground pepper plus more to taste

1 ½ pounds thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts about ½ inch thick

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon finely minced garlic

1 cup less-sodium chicken broth

¾ cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese plus more to serve

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes halved or quartered if large

½ pound orzo or cooked hot pasta optional

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
