Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half horizontally to make thinner cutlets
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 1.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts into the sauce.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Notes

Serve immediately. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
