Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 small jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano on both sides. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with a bit of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add minced onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until the onion is translucent. Slowly pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Add spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.
