Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 Tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 8.5 oz sun dried tomatoes drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped
- fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Season each side of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- In a bowl, combine the flour and Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- After melted, cook the prepared chicken for 3-5 minutes per side until it is golden brown on both sides and the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Leaving the skillet as is, add in the butter for the sauce and melt over medium-high heat.
- Next, add in the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
- Then add in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Next, add in the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper, and stir.
- Add in the spinach and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it has been sauced and warmed through.
- Finally, serve with fresh parsley and enjoy!
