Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow flavors to marry. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality Parmesan cheese.
If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end.
Adjust the amount of spinach based on your preference.
