Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh basil, for garnish

  
  

Cooking Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

   
   

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

   
   

3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

   
   

4. Pour in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.

   
   

5. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.

   
   

6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken.

   
   

7. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped basil if desired.

• Adjust the amount of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to your preference for a personalized touch.
