Instructions

Make Seasoned Flour:
Mix flour, paprika, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a shallow bowl.

Season and Dredge Chicken:
Season chicken with remaining salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and chili flakes. Coat chicken in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Sear the Chicken:
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Make the Sauce:
Add remaining olive oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring often.

Add Cream and Cheese:
Stir in heavy cream, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, spinach, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens.

Finish Cooking:
Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce over top and cook until internal temp reaches 165°F. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve:
Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or herbs if desired.

Notes

Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier texture.

Add a splash of white wine with the cream for extra depth.

Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
