🧄 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed, drained)

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a little heat


🍳 Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken
    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  2. Sear the Chicken
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Make the Sauce
    In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

  4. Add Liquids & Cheese
    Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add Veggies
    Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts and sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Return Chicken to Pan
    Add the seared chicken back into the pan and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

  7. Serve
    Serve hot, garnished with more Parmesan or fresh basil if desired. This pairs perfectly with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.


💡 Tips & Variations

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.

  • Add mushrooms or swap spinach with kale for a twist.

  • For a dairy-free version, try coconut milk and nutritional yeast.


🥂 Pairing Suggestion

Serve with a glass of chilled Chardonnay or sparkling water with lemon for a fresh finish.
