Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts about 1 pound, sliced in half horizontally
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (oil-packed for best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Add cooked pasta or rice to the skillet for a heartier meal, mixing it into the sauce before serving.
