Prepare a flavorful, creamy chicken dish using only one pot for easy cleanup. This recipe features tender chicken breasts coated in a rich sauce with sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Stir in the Italian seasoning. Return the chicken to the pot.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy. Do not boil after adding cream.
  10. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 minute.
  11. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water before stirring it into the simmering broth in step 6.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the sauce will be slightly thinner.
  • Serve this dish over cooked linguine or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
