Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Lower heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
Step 4
Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Whisk constantly to prevent lumps until the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir for about 2 minutes until the leaves are wilted and the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken and simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
