Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin as needed)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 5 oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cup fresh spinach

Instructions
Sear the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the butter, onion and cook until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
- Add the garlic, Italian herbs, and cook another 30 seconds.
- Pour in the white wine (or broth), scraping up any browned bits from the pan for extra flavor.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach until wilted.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring It All Together:
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
