Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.

Step 2: Sear the chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the creamy sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Step 4: Add flavour

Stir in Parmesan cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5: Add spinach and chicken

Mix in the spinach and cook until wilted. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and coat them with the creamy sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

Step 6: Serve hot

Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil, then serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Add a twist: Use boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
Make it lighter: Substitute heavy cream with half and half or coconut milk.
Add vegetables: Mushrooms or roasted bell peppers make a great addition.
Spicy version: Add a pinch of red chili flakes for a kick.
