Yield: 4 servings
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Add the Parmesan cheese and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring until the sauce becomes creamy.
  6. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
