Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Dice sun-dried tomatoes and mince garlic.
  2. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown on both sides (5-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
  3. Add garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Create the sauce: Pour in heavy cream, stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add spinach and return chicken: Toss in spinach until wilted, then return chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over each piece.
  6. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pasta to soak up the sauce.
