Make this restaurant quality chicken dinner in under 40 minutes. You get juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts simmered in a rich Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
  10. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat the chicken through. Serve immediately for an easy weeknight meal.

Notes

  • Serve this incredible creamy chicken over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles to keep it low carb.
  • For a richer flavor, use dry white wine instead of half of the chicken broth.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a more flavorful cut of meat.
