Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast (thinly sliced or butterflied)
1.5 cups Heavy Cream
0.5 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes (in oil, chopped)
3 cups Baby Spinach
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted.
Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with the sauce and heat through.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is thinly sliced for even and fast cooking. Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the cream from curdling. Serve over pasta, zucchini noodles, or with a slice of toasted sourdough to soak up the sauce.
