Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), drained and chopped

2 cups baby spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Season & Sear Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes and stir for 1 minute. Pour in cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Add Cheese & Spinach

Stir in Parmesan cheese and cook until melted. Add spinach and stir until wilted.

Step 4: Return Chicken & Simmer

Return the chicken to the skillet. Let everything simmer together for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Serve hot over pasta, rice, or a low-carb option like cauliflower mash.

Tips for Success

Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise for quicker cooking.

Don’t boil the cream sauce — a gentle simmer preserves texture.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melt and flavor.
