Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through to 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; cook for about 30 seconds, then stir in the chicken broth and scrape up browned bits.
  4. Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes; add the spinach and stir until wilted.
  5. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over it, warm for 1 minute, and serve with lemon if desired.
