Ingredients
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
  • 5 oz Spinach
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Sear the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Create the Sauce

Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Finish and Serve

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Serve hot. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley, if desired. Serve over cauliflower rice for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.
