Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil for added flavor)
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sauté the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

4. Add Flavors and Thicken:
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

5. Add Spinach:
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the spinach is wilted and tender.

6. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and let it cook together for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7. Garnish and Serve:
If desired, sprinkle fresh basil on top for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer or add a little more Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.
