Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning.
3. Step 3: Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Step 4: Add 4 cups fresh spinach to the sauce and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors. Serve hot with sauce spooned over chicken.
