Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken
    • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
    • Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
    • This step ensures the chicken is perfectly seared and juicy.
  • Make the Sauce
    • Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
    • Add garlic to the same pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
    • The garlic infuses the oil and sets the base for the creamy sauce.
  • Add the Sun-Dried Tomatoes
    • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
    • These will add a burst of savory flavor to the sauce.
  • Pour in the Cream
    • Add the heavy cream to the pan and stir.
    • Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken beautifully.
  • Stir in Spinach and Parmesan
    • Add fresh spinach to the pan and cook until it wilts.
    • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce, creating a rich, velvety texture.
  • Return the Chicken to the Pan
    • Add the cooked chicken back into the pan.
    • Let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to soak up all the flavors.
    • Once the chicken is well-coated and heated through, it’s ready to serve!
