Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and boil salted water for pasta.

  • Grate your own Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness before serving.
