Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper generously.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in the Italian seasoning. Allow it to simmer until slightly thickened.
- Fold in the fresh spinach, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish, letting it melt into the sauce.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
For added depth, consider adding a splash of white wine while simmering the sauce. You can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers.
