Ingredients
- 4 4 medium chicken breasts pounded
- 2 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1 teaspoon each: sea salt and pepper
- 2 2 tablespoons olive oil see notes - sun dried tomato oil
- 2 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ ½ cup chicken stock
- ½ ½ cup cream
- ¼ ¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
- 2 2 cups spinach leaves chopped
Instructions
- Dry the chicken well with paper towels. Place them on a cutting board then use the heel of your palm to gently pound the chicken so that it is even in thickness. Mix the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl then coat the chicken in the flour.
- Heat the oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5 minutes per side, until it is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the garlic to the pan and let it cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock and cream and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any stuck-on bits. Stir the sun-dried tomatoes into the sauce. Add the spinach to the pan and let it wilt.
- Return the chicken and any juices to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes, until the cream reduces a little.

Notes
- We like to use the oil in the jar of sun-dried tomatoes to cook the chicken as it gives it extra flavor. If this causes the remaining sun-dried tomatoes in the jar to be out of the oil, pour a little olive oil into the jar so that they are covered.
