Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for searing
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream For creamy goodness
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth To add depth of flavor
  • 1/3 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped For a tangy flair
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach For color and nutrition
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated To enrich the sauce
  • Fresh Basil, for garnish (optional) For aesthetics

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Searing
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Creating the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Adding Cream and Tomatoes
  1. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Finishing Up
  1. Mix in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to cook for an additional couple of minutes so the flavors meld together.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot with your favorite side or over pasta.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, or swap chicken for turkey. Avoid cooking the chicken on high heat for too long to keep it juicy.
