Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 cloves Garlic, minced
0.5 cup Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
3 cups Baby spinach
1 cup Heavy cream
0.5 cup Vegetable stock
0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place chicken into the hot pan and cook for five minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a clean plate.
Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for sixty seconds until fragrant.
Pour the vegetable stock into the pan to deglaze, scraping up brown bits with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese until the sauce simmers.
Add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts into the creamy mixture.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce until heated through.
Notes
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook evenly and remain tender. Serve over pasta, crusty bread, or mashed potatoes to soak up the extra sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
