Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil or dry, rehydrated)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs on both sides.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add Cream and Spinach: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Combine and Serve
- Return Chicken: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
- Serve: Serve hot, paired with your favorite low-carb side dish or over zucchini noodles.
