Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder or fresh minced
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp salt and black pepper each

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the breasts for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165F). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, whisking to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Add the fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring gently until the spinach wilts.
  • Return the seared breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
