Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an extra few minutes.
- If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use tomato paste for a similar flavor.
- Add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
