Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, carefully searing chicken pieces until they develop a golden-brown exterior and reach complete internal doneness, ensuring no pink remains in the center.
- Carefully remove chicken from the skillet, transferring to a clean plate while maintaining its warmth.
- Introduce heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the same skillet, whisking vigorously to create a smooth, harmonious sauce.
- Gradually incorporate parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the mixture transforms into a luxuriously thickened consistency.
- Gently fold sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach into the creamy sauce, allowing the greens to delicately wilt and absorb the rich flavors.
- Delicately return the perfectly cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Optional: Serve this sumptuous Tuscan-inspired dish atop a bed of pasta, allowing the sauce to cascade elegantly over the chicken and accompanying ingredients.
Notes
- Perfectly sear chicken by using a high-heat method to lock in juicy flavors and create a golden-brown exterior.
- Create a luxurious cream sauce by whisking parmesan and seasonings until it reaches a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Quickly wilt fresh spinach directly in the sauce to preserve its vibrant color and nutritional benefits.
- Choose sun-dried tomatoes for an intense burst of concentrated tomato flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Serve immediately over pasta or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious creamy sauce.
- Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the most tender and quick-cooking protein option.
