Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts, pounded to an even thickness
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, for sautéing
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh Spinach
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides and pound them to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken breasts, and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the cream sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic and tomatoes, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Incorporate the spinach: Add fresh spinach to the sauce and let it wilt, stirring occasionally.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm over your favorite base.
Notes
Pound chicken evenly for uniform cooking; use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes for best flavor.
