Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Large skillet
  • tongs
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cups baby spinach

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
  • Serve warm with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
Top Tips: Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of broth. Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
