Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, simmer for a few extra minutes.
You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
Add other vegetables like mushrooms or broccoli if desired.
