TUSCAN CHICKEN | BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS SMOTHERED WITH DELICIOUS CREAM SAUCE!

My sister-in-law made this Tuscan Chicken and it was a huge hit! So good I had to re-do my recipe 😅. It’s tender chicken thighs, tomatoes and spinach smothered in this creamy Parmesan sauce that I could just drink! Lol

Tuscan Chicken

Ingredients
5 chicken thighs (I used bone in, skin removed)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream

Optional- 3 bacon strips, cooked and chopped
I
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine paprika, garlic, and onion powder together in a small bowl.
Drizzle and rub olive oil all over chicken. Season on both sides well with salt and pepper and sprinkle over seasoning rub.
Place on a baking sheet and bake until cook through, about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size.
Start preparing the sauce 10 minutes before the chicken is done cooking.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, season with salt and cook for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted. Turn off heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
Add to cooked chicken to the sauce and garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped bacon if desired.
