Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, cook minced garlic until fragrant, then pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to the cream sauce, cooking until the spinach wilts for about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon creamy sauce over, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, adding fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality heavy cream for the richest flavor.
- Don’t overcook the chicken; it should be tender and juicy.
- Adjust garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to taste.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
