Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Salt
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the sauce:
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1 : Season the Chicken Pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 2 : Sear the Chicken Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3 : Make the Sauce In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4 : Add the Spinach Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt into the sauce, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5 : Bring It Together Return the chicken to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for 2 more minutes.
Step 6 : Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with warm crusty bread to soak up all that gorgeous sauce.

Tips & Tricks
- Pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Use freshly grated parmesan — the pre-shredded kind doesn’t melt as smoothly.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
