Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Sauce
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts skinless, boneless
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
For Serving
  • Pasta, Rice, or Crusty Bread Choose your favorite side

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then sear until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer seared breasts to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices and ensure tender, moist results.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, heavy cream, and Parmesan to the skillet. Stir gently, bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  5. Nestle seared chicken back into the creamy sauce, spooning sauce over the top. Let everything heat through for 2–3 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  6. Place chicken on plates over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
