4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter option.

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Add fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning to the sauce.
Let it simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Carefully return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated with the creamy sauce.
Heat through for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
