Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Sauce:

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Cook Chicken:

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.

Make Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and simmer 3-5 minutes.

Add Spinach & Cheese:

  • Stir in baby spinach and Parmesan cheese until spinach wilts and sauce thickens slightly.

Combine Chicken & Sauce:

  • Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Cook 2 more minutes to heat through.

Serve:

  • Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Resting: Let chicken rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  • Optional: Add extra herbs like basil or parsley for garnish.
  • Make Ahead: Sauce can be prepared ahead and reheated gently.
  • Serving: Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • Skillet Tip: Use a large skillet to cook chicken evenly without overcrowding.
