Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes to release their flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, spinach, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the spinach has wilted.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread for a complete meal.
