- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
How to make Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Spinach
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Add the 5 ounces of fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts completely into the sauce, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat.
- Garnish generously with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped basil. Serve immediately with your favorite pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
