Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
Season the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
Add the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Sasha suggests adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra warmth.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for an extra few minutes before adding the chicken back in.
This pairs wonderfully with pasta or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
