Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with sauce, and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm with extra sauce.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. It’s important to monitor the chicken’s internal temperature to prevent dryness.
