Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach
Instructions:
- Season the chicken cutlets evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Sear the chicken for 3–5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter in the same skillet, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1–2 minutes until the garlic smells nutty and fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Fold in the fresh baby spinach, stirring until the leaves are wilted and bright green.
- Return the seared chicken and any accumulated juices back into the pan, spooning the sauce over the meat for 2 minutes to glaze.
