Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
1.5 cups heavy cream
0.5 cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped
3 cups fresh spinach, stems removed
4 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken cutlets generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the chicken for five minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Sauté minced garlic in the remaining pan drippings for thirty seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the sundried tomatoes and parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Return the chicken to the pan to coat in the sauce and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure the chicken cutlets are of equal thickness for even cooking. For extra flavor, serve over pasta or mashed potatoes.
