Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, throw in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. If too thick, whisk in a little more chicken broth.

Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the heat of the sauce.

Nestle the cooked chicken breasts back into the sauce, spooning the sauce over them. Let them heat through for about 2 minutes.
