Description

A creamy, garlicky dish full of bright sun-dried tomato flavor, featuring tender chicken in a silky sauce with wilted spinach and Parmesan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 cups spinach (fresh)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on the first side, about 6–7 minutes.
  3. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until cooked through, about 6–7 more minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, add Italian seasoning and Parmesan, then stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over each piece. Simmer together for 2–4 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

Serve over pasta, cauliflower rice, or with a side salad. Garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley.
