Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 3 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk the sauce until smooth and creamy.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low heat for another 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle the fresh basil on top before serving.
Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.
