Ingredients

You will need:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken
    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Sear the chicken
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Build the sauce
    In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.

  4. Make it creamy
    Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.

  5. Add cheese & greens
    Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted, then add spinach and cook until just wilted.

  6. Finish & serve
    Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm.

Helpful Tips

  • Slice chicken evenly for quicker cooking.

  • Add red pepper flakes for gentle heat.

  • Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
