Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)

Preparation

  • 1.

    Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

  • 2.

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  • 3.

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • 4.

    Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach has wilted (if using fresh).

  • 5.

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened slightly.

  • 6.

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let it simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.

  • 7.

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
