  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.

Notes

  • Low-Carb/Keto: Serve with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of pasta.
  • Extra Creamy: Stir in 1 tablespoon of cream cheese for a richer sauce.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and use dairy-free Parmesan.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce.
