Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let them simmer together for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot over your choice of pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
