Ingredients

• For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• For the Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Sear the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
4. Add Cheese and Seasoning:
   • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and oregano. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. If using, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
5. Combine:
   • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to heat through.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Tips

• You can use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
• Adjust the amount of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to your taste.
