Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/4 cup chicken broth

• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Brown the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. Create the creamy sauce: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and bubbles slightly.

4. Combine and simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.

5. Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Creamy Tuscan Chicken over your favorite low-carb pasta, such as zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or cauliflower rice. You can also enjoy it as is with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use a combination of white and red wine instead of chicken broth.

• Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli.

• To make this recipe even creamier, add a dollop of ricotta cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end.

• If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  

Enjoy this delicious and satisfying low-carb dinner!
