Instructions
 

  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce:
  • In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
  • Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Finish the Dish:
  • Stir in fresh spinach and let it wilt in the sauce.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve:
  • Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Make It Lighter: Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
