Cook tender chicken breasts in a creamy, sun-dried tomato sauce with spinach and Parmesan, all made in a single skillet for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Top each breast with a portion of the sauce.
  7. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  8. Remove the skillet from the oven. Stir the fresh spinach into the sauce until it wilts. Add the butter and stir until melted and incorporated.
  9. Serve the chicken immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the chicken and sauce to a baking dish before putting it in the oven.
  • Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
