Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese and simmer until slightly thickened.
  6. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  7. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for a few minutes to warm through.
  8. Serve hot with extra sauce over pasta, rice, or bread.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Replace half the cream with milk or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Add mushrooms or artichoke hearts for extra veggies.
  • Increase red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth to restore sauce consistency.
