Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Dust the chicken breasts lightly with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth.
Step 7
Add the spinach leaves and sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and let cook for an additional 10 minutes over low heat, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve hot with a side of pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce!
