Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until it's golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Make sure the juices run clear when you pierce the chicken with a fork. Remove the chicken and set it aside.1½ lbs Chicken Breast, 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- It's time to build the sauce! Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Whisk the sauce constantly over medium-high heat until it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Next, add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Simmer until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Finally, return the chicken to the skillet and cook until it's heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.1 Cup Heavy Cream, ½ Cup Chicken Broth, ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, 1 Cup Spinach, ½ Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil
- Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon the creamy sauce generously over the chicken, ensuring that the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes are evenly distributed. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.

Notes
Ingredients:
- Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can also use chicken thighs, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Olive Oil: Use a good quality olive oil for cooking the chicken.
- Heavy Cream: Heavy cream creates a rich and creamy sauce. You can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.
- Chicken Broth: Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is best.
- Garlic Powder and Italian Seasoning: These add flavor to the sauce. You can also use fresh garlic and herbs if you have them on hand.
- Spinach: Fresh spinach is best. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding it to the sauce.
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also use dried sun-dried tomatoes, but rehydrate them in hot water before using.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will ensure that the chicken browns properly and doesn't steam.
- Cook Chicken Thoroughly: Cook the chicken until it's golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Whisk the Sauce: Whisk the sauce constantly while it's cooking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Don't Overcook the Spinach: Simmer the spinach just until it wilts. Overcooked spinach will become mushy.
- Reheat Gently: If reheating leftovers, do so gently over low heat to prevent the sauce from separating.
- Pasta or Rice: Serve over your favorite pasta or rice.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sides: Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
- Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for heat.
- Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Wine: Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for depth of flavor.
- Lemon: Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the finished dish for brightness.
