- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
For the sauce
- 1 small onion finely chopped, or shallot
- 4 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
- 10 sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped, in oil

- 1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock
- 1½ cups heavy cream or whipping cream

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board and cover with a piece of parchment paper.

- In the same pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant.
- Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and allow to cook until the spinach has welted.
