It’s quick, satisfying, and restaurant-quality—without the need for complicated steps. One skillet means less cleanup and more time to enjoy. Pair with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained and sliced)

• 1½ cups baby spinach

• Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sear the Chicken

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2. Build the Sauce

Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan. Stir well to combine.

3. Add the Tuscan Flavors

Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Return the Chicken

Add the chicken back to the pan. Simmer for another 3–4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top.

5. Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Pro Tips

• Slice thicker chicken breasts in half for even cooking.

• Don’t skip the sear. It locks in juices and adds depth of flavor.

• Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, richer sauce.
