Description
A comforting dish featuring chicken breasts in a creamy garlic sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan, perfect for cozy dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, laying them gently in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the grated parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and allow it to simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Return the golden chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is submerged in that creamy goodness. Add in the fresh spinach, stirring until it’s wilted and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional parmesan if desired. Watch as everyone savors each delectable bite!
