Ingredients

  • 16 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup (2.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) heavy cream (See Tip 1)
  • ½ cup (4 ounces) low sodium chicken broth (See Tip 1)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cup (3 ounces) fresh baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped and packed
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (See Tip 2)
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

  • Thinly slice chicken breasts horizontally into 3 to 4 pieces each.
  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a Ziploc bag. Add chicken; shake to coat.
  • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken and brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add garlic to the same skillet used to cook the chicken. Cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Add Italian seasoning, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until spinach has wilted and sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the sauce. Heat over medium heat as the sauce thickens and the chicken is heated, 2 to 3 additional minutes. Correct for salt and pepper.
  • Serve over pasta; garnish with additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings. (See Tip 3)

Notes

  1. If you prefer more sauce, double the amount of heavy cream and chicken broth.
  2. I prefer to use dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes rather than oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes. However, feel free to use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. Gently reheat.
