Creamy Tuscan chicken

 

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of individual spices such as oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream *see note above for dairy-free options
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

Instructions

• Prep the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Sear the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
• Cook the onions. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant.
• Add the spinach, and saute another minute, until just starting to wilt.
• Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.
• Let it simmer. Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
