Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the baking dish.
  • In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until combined and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until spinach wilts.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
