Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil and oregano)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and let rest.
  2. 2. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan.
  3. 3. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and dried herbs; simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. 4. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes). Return chicken to the skillet, coating with sauce. Simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. 5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted before serving.

Keywords: For added crunch, substitute spinach with kale. Adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes to the sauce or incorporating more sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
