Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of individual spices such as oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cooking

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Vegetables

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach

Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream see note above for dairy-free options
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season both sides of each chicken breast in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the spinach, and saute another minute, until just starting to wilt.
  • Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.
  • Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Notes

For dairy-free folks swapping in nutritional yeast, I’d recommend 1 to 2 tablespoons. If you have extra large or super thick chicken breasts, you may need to sear them longer. You could also pound them evenly flat or butterfly each chicken breast for a faster cook time.
