Creamy Chicken with Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast (cut into fillets or large cubes)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing the chicken)
• 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained and chopped)
• 2 cup fresh spinach (tender leaves)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until it begins to wilt.

5. 5

   Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes.

6. 6

   Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce thickens slightly and the cheese has melted.

7. 7

   Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes so the flavors can meld and the chicken can heat through.

Notes

You can serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with steamed vegetables for a low-carb option. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk or chicken broth.
