  • Author: zenola-morgan

  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A cozy, one-pan chicken dinner featuring a creamy garlic parmesan sauce, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Sun dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, freshly grated
  • 3 cups Fresh baby spinach
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prep and season the chicken by patting it dry and seasoning both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Brown the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden, then move to a plate.
  3. Build the sauce by reducing heat, adding butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Add sun dried tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping the pan to release browned bits.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then add parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Add spinach and stir until wilted, then return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over, and simmer until chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For a silkier sauce, use freshly grated parmesan. Optionally serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
