Ingredients
For the chicken
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the sauce
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon sun dried tomato oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 3 cups spinach
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Gently pat dry your chicken breasts and lay them on their side. Use a large knife to cut them long ways in half, creating two thinner chicken breasts.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together your flour and seasonings to create your breading for the chicken.
- Coat your chicken in the breading mixture, making sure to cover all the surface area of the chicken before setting aside.
- In a large pan, add your 2 tablespoons of oil and set the pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully lay your chicken in, allowing the chicken to cook for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 4-5 minutes. Once finished cooking, remove from the pan and set aside. You may have to cook the chicken in batches, just be sure to add more oil as needed.
- Reduce the heat of your pan to medium-low. To your pan, add in your sun-dried tomatoes and a tablespoon of the oil and saute for 1-2 minutes before adding in your minced garlic. Saute for 1 additional minute or so, just until aromatic.
- Add in your broth, spinach, and seasonings and simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring so that all the spinach wilts.
- Once the spinach has wilted, mix in your heavy cream and cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes before adding your chicken. Once the chicken has been added, spoon the sauce over the tops and keep simmering for another 3 minutes before taking off the heat.
- Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
