Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (julienned, packed in oil and drained)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden-brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately. Pair with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
