Tuscan chicken, seasoned to perfection and coated in a creamy, Greek yogurt, mushroom and Parmesan sauce.
All. In. One. Pan.
Guys, I just figured out dinner plans for you, and they're going to taste pretty spectacular!
This recipe was actually inspired solely from the fact that I had a jar of sun-dried tomatoes that I had been dying to use. I usually add sun-dried tomatoes to my sandwiches, pita pockets etc. But I was craving something a little more hearty for dinner.
Speaking of hearty, I've come to realize that one of the hardest parts of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is that sometimes those hearty cravings kick in. The type of hearty cravings that demand a plate full of pasta the size of my head with 2 slices of garlic bread to wash it all down.
Nuh uh cravings...not this time. That is when a good old creamy, Parmesan Greek yogurt sauce toooootally saved me from that list of weight gain regrets just waiting to happen.
This Parmesan Tuscan Chicken is literally packed with flavor in every little bite. From the perfectly seasoned chicken breasts, to the creamy mushrooms coated in cheesy sauce, all mixed in with those bursts of flavor from the sun-dried tomatoes - your taste buds are far from lacking here.
The absolute best best best part about it all is that your appetite will be satisfied without you risking the chances of feeling bloated and just plain..bleh, the same way that a heavy sauce might make you feel.
Oh, did I mention that it is all done in one pan? Did I skip that part out? The part where you literally only have to wash one pan and one spatula?
See guys, healthy living is FUN! 🙂
This sauce is thickened using cornstarch, making this Parmesan Tuscan Chicken gluten free friendly sooo bonus for that! I decided to serve it up for my family on a bed of brown rice which was perf. However, this would definitely taste just as amazing served with quinoa, CAULIFLOWER RICE 🙂 or a salad! Nom away, my friends!

Oh my goodness this is good!!! Followed your recipe and it was fabulous. Thanks for this awesome dish!
Vicci says
I'm so happy that it was a hit, Maudie! We love love love this recipe oh so much!
D'Anna Hebert says
Honestly, my expectation for this dish were very low. I've made lots of cream sauces before but never lightened up. I figured it would not have the richness that I craved with a cream sauce. I am happy to admit that I was wrong. The sauce was incredible, chicken was delicious and I served it over homemade pasta to knock it out of the park. The only modification I made was that I added in a chopped onion with my mushroom and cooked until my onions were brown and my mushrooms were cooked down a lot. I also added a few splashes of hot sauce for a little extra kick. My husband, who claim to hate all "healthy" food even enjoyed this meal.
Vicci says
LOVE this!!! So happy it was a hit in your household D'Anna!!
Linda Mize says
I need to use up some coconut milk. Is this okay?
Kathryn says
What would you suggest instead of mushrooms? I'm a crazy picky eater and everything else looks good except that. I just don't want to lose the substance in my substitution.
Joanna O'Bear says
I did this recipe and I love mushrooms but my husband and daughter hate them. I just put the mushrooms on my plate and went without for them and it was fantastic and they loved it. It's not an overwhelming mushroom flavor. It's very subtle. The way the recipe is written it calls for the baby Bella mushrooms and in the store they come as big chunks so they're super easy to fish out You can just use a slotted spoon.
Jacquelyn says
My husband and I recently started a low-calorie diet and I’ve been searching for meals that are low-calorie and don’t leave us feeling hungry. So far, my husband has hated everything I’ve found and he complains that it’s all bland. Tonight I made this dish and it was a hit. Easy to make, extremely filling, and packed full of flavor. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! I can’t wait to try some of your other stuff
Kathleen Savar says
I just made the One Pan Parmesan Tuscan Chicken for my hubs and daughter and i have three words: WOW and THANK YOU! We loved the recipe, followed it to a t and enjoyed every bite. Thanks for the delicious, easy to follow recipe!
Ang says
This was so delicious! I was a little skeptical about the almond milk and Greek yogurt for the cream sauce. I made it exactly as written and i can't wait to have my leftovers for lunch! I served it over couscous for something different. Husband loved the meatiness of the whole dish. Thank you!
Connie says
Absolutely delicious 😋 My husband who hates anything "healthy " loved it. Only thing I did different was added onions and kept out the garlic powder. Fresh garlic was enough for us. Thank you for the recipe😊
Vicci says
So glad that this healthy recipe was hubby-approved, Connie!!
Kim Wallace says
Hi Vicci! Can you please confirm if you used plain greek yogurt (0% plain fat free) and unsweetened almond milk or the regular almond milk? I just don't want to mess this recipe up, thank you!!
Vicci says
Hi Kim! I used plain nonfat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. 🙂
jason says

Louisek says
Just made this, it was really delicious! Served it with cauliflower rice.
Vicci says
Happy to hear that you liked it, Louisek!
Kassie says
I made this tonight and put it over spaghetti squash, so yummy!!! I added some extra garlic and subbed 1% milk for the almond milk. My whole family if picky eaters loved it!
Vicci says
Sooo so happy that you liked it, Kassie! Love the addition of spaghetti squash for a low carb dinner fix 😉
melissa says
can this e made ahead of time and frozen? like for meal prepping?
Vicci says
Absolutely!
Jina says
What type of sundries tomatoes were they, in the jar?
Vicci says
Yes, I just used jarred sun-dried tomatoes 🙂
Rai says
Hi, this looks like a great recipe! Was just wondering if I can make it ahead and store it for a couple of days?
Vicci says
Absolutely! This can either be frozen and reheated or stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 🙂
Aimee says
Not sure if I missed the onfo, but how much is a serving size....1 cup....2. Thanks A
Vicci says
Hi Aimee, fixed it! Serving size is 1/4 recipe (4 oz chicken) 🙂
Melissa Leigh says
I can not wait to try this recipe and a few others. Do you have any recipes for pork? beef? I am tons of recipes for chicken, but not pork or beef. Thanks
Vicci says
Hi Melissa!
Funny enough, I was JUST saying to myself earlier this week that I definitely need to experiment with some pork and beef recipes sooo expect them soon! If you're subscribed to my newsletter then those recipes will be coming atcha in the near future! 😊
Jennifer says
The directions call for garlic powder but I didn't see it in the ingredient list. How much should i use? Thanks!
Vicci says
I just updated the recipe list, can't believe I left that out! So sorry, Jennifer!
Tiffany says
My sauce was brown instead of white 😳 What might I have done wrong?
Vicci says
Hi Tiffany, I'm not quite sure why this happened? My only guess would be that the sauce possibly turned brown due to residue in the pan from cooking the chicken? I hope that the taste wasn't compromised by the color, though! 😊
April says
Question - what type sun dried tomatoes did you use? Dried or the ones in oil? And if you used dried, do they moisten up at the end?
Cassie says
Is it 304 calories by itself or with the brown rice?
Vicci says
It is 304 calories per serving without the brown rice
Gina says
I made this tonight for dinner and it does NOT disappoint! Simple ingredients, easy to follow, real life! Thanks so much for sharing!
Vicci says
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Gina 🙂
Jacquelyn Johnson says
I don't know what I did wrong but I followed the recipe exactly like it says and my sauce did not turn out! It like completely separated and the cheese just clumped up together.
Vicci says
Hmm, that's really strange? Did you cook on very high heat or maybe over stir the mixture as it was cooking? It's good to cook this sauce on medium heat to allow the cheese to gradually melt into the sauce. Sorry it didn't work out for you, Jacquelyn!
Beth says
Can I substitute 2% milk for the almond milk?
Vicci says
Absolutely!
Meiko says
I would devour this for sure!
Vicci says
Oh, my family and I did for sure! 🙂
Kushi says
I am in love with the recipe. Amazingly delicious one!
Vicci says
Thank you, Kushi 🙂
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
The flavours in this sound yummy - I love that you used Greek yogurt!
Vicci says
Oh they were incredible! I loooove using Greek yogurt in my recipes to get a lighter, yet creamy sauce.
nicole says
This looks so good and I like how you give options as to other ways to eat this yummy chicken!! You're right -- healthy eating is fun! It doesn't have to be boring!!! 🙂
Vicci says
Yeah!! You tell 'em, Nicole. Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring at all 🙂
Tara says
Such a great one pan meal! That sauce sounds amazing and I particularly love the addition of sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms.
Vicci says
Oh, the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes are my absolutely fave...always! They're so yum in everything 😀
