Description
A delicious dish that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and fresh spinach, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to warm through.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Top with extra Parmesan right before serving for added flavor.
