🧄 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
-
Season the Chicken
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. -
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. -
Make the Sauce
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). -
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. -
Add Veggies
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts and sauce thickens slightly. -
Return Chicken to Pan
Add the seared chicken back into the pan and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes. -
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.
