Render the skin hard before the sauce goes in, and put the chicken back skin-side up so it never sits in liquid — that is the difference between crisp skin and soggy skin.

Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Ingredients

4 servings
  • 150ml White Wine
  • 75g Parmesan
  • 100g Baby Spinach
  • Salt
  • Mash or Crusty Bread, to serve
  • 75g Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 Onion
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Skin-On Chicken Breasts
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 250ml Chicken Stock
  • 2 Tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 150ml Double Cream

Amounts for 4 servings.

Method

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion, then peel and finely chop the garlic.

  2. Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and season really well with salt and pepper. Put a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat and lay the chicken in skin-side down. Fry for 7–8 minutes, until the skin is properly crisp, then lift onto a plate, keeping it skin-side up.

  3. Turn the heat down to medium and scrape in the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, then stir in the Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes and white wine. Let it bubble for 2 minutes.

  4. Pour in the stock and cream, then nestle the chicken back into the pan skin-side up so the skin stays above the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too fast.

  5. Cram in the spinach and grate over the Parmesan, stirring to wilt the leaves around the chicken.

  6. Season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper, and serve with mash or crusty bread.
