HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

02

Season the chicken pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

03

Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

04

Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

05

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add 3 cups of fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.

06

Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is well combined. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, you can deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of dry white wine before adding the chicken broth. Ensure your sun-dried tomatoes are well-drained to prevent excess oil in the sauce.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a richer flavor. If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) can be used. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free Parmesan alternative.
