Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and sliced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the fresh spinach leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5 minutes to warm the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
