Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 2 pounds, pounded to even thickness
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Sauce
- 1 small shallot, diced (about ¼ cup)
- ⅓ cup (37 g) sun-dried tomato, softened in water, drained, and chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ⅓ cup (80 g) chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy cream, room temperature
- 1 cup (245 g) whole milk, room temperature
- 2 cups (60 g) baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup (100 g) parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup (149 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Season chicken on all sides with the mixture and gently rub in.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chicken.
- Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Place the chicken onto a plate and tent to keep warm as you prepare the sauce.
- In the same large skillet as you cooked the chicken, add shallots and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the shallots are softened (2-4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan slightly, scraping the bottom bits as you go. Add tomato paste, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add heavy cream and milk. Stir to combine.
- Add spinach, parmesan cheese, and tomatoes. Toss to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cheese is fully melted and spinach is wilted, 5-7 minutes.
- Nestle the chicken back into the pan and spoon sauce over the top.
- Serve topped with more parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with roasted or steamed vegetables, pasta, or rice.
