Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. 5

   Add the sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.

6. 6

   Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth.

8. 8

   Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

9. 9

   Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, use a microwave at 50% power or warm in a covered pan over medium-low heat until heated through. For best texture, avoid reheating more than once.
