Savor golden, seared chicken enveloped in a luscious cream sauce, heightened by fragrant garlic and tart sun-dried tomatoes.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets, then season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and drained sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  4. Step 4: Once the sauce is simmering gently, add the fresh spinach, stirring continuously until the spinach has fully wilted and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Step 5: Return the seared chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Allow the chicken to heat through for 1-2 minutes, then serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Keep any leftovers chilled tightly in the refrigerator for up to three days, but for the best texture, avoid freezing this dish as the heavy cream may separate when thawed.
  • When reheating, use a low temperature on the stovetop and add a splash of extra chicken broth or cream if the sauce seems too thick, stirring gently until heated through.
  • For a final flourish, sprinkle a pinch of fresh chopped basil or a few red pepper flakes over the finished plate to add contrasting freshness and gentle warmth.
  • Chef's Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, substitute one tablespoon of the reserved oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for the olive oil when searing the chicken cutlets.
