Equipment

  • Large Skillet (10-12 inch)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and julienned

Instructions

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F). Remove to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk for 1-2 minutes, scraping up browned bits.
  • Sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir and simmer for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and heat through. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the smoothest, creamiest sauce, always use freshly grated parmesan cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can make sauces grainy. To make this a complete meal, serve it over pasta, like in our Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up every drop of sauce.
