Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the pan: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the cream and seasoning: Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Return the chicken: Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
