Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and add Italian seasoning. Scrape any bits off the pan and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
