Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and slicing larger chicken breasts if needed.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes per side).
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, followed by sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Stir well until spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly (around 5 minutes).
- Add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted. Adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as desired.
- Plate alongside pasta or rice for a complete meal, garnishing with additional Parmesan if desired.
