Ingredients
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the quark until fully combined and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
While the sauce simmers, prepare zucchini noodles according to package instructions or spiralize fresh zucchini and sauté lightly in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the creamy Tuscan quark chicken immediately over the zucchini noodles.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the chicken broth slightly before adding the quark.
