Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast (boneless skinless)
- 4 tablespoon butter
- ½ onion (diced)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes (packed in oil, thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Optional: Slice each breast in half lengthwise, so you have 8 thinner chicken cutlets, or you can leave them whole.
- Season each piece of chicken on each side with salt and pepper
- In a large frying pan or skillet on medium heat, add the 3 tablespoon of butter until fully melted.
- Working in batches depending on the size of your pan, add 2-3 pieces of chicken at a time and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown (if using whole chicken breast sear for 5 minutes per side).
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil. Repeat with each piece, until they are all cooked.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow to melt. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and continue to sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the chicken broth and cream to the pan. Stir until evenly combined.
- Add in the parmesan cheese. Stir until evenly combined. The sauce will start to thicken.
- Add spinach to pan and stir until spinach leaves have wilted.
- Add chicken back into skillet, spoon some sauce over each piece and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until chicken is tender and fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Serve and enjoy! Optional: serve with a side of rice or mashed potatoes or over pasta with extra sauce poured over top.
