Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear chicken breasts for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan.
6. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
7. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
8. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
9. Return chicken to skillet and simmer for another 5–7 minutes until cooked through.
10. Serve hot with sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
