Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil Use extra virgin for a richer flavor.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, consider half-and-half.
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach You can use baby spinach for a milder taste.
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated Freshly grated cheese is preferred.
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning Or you can use a mix of dried oregano and basil.
- 0.5 tsp salt Adjust according to your taste.
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by heating the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, making sure not to burn it. Next, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, followed by the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Now, add the spinach and let it wilt into the sauce. Once wilted, stir in the grated parmesan cheese and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's well-coated with that luscious creamy sauce. Allow everything to heat through together for another couple of minutes before serving warm.
Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta or a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your meal with a glass of white wine for added indulgence!
