Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (microbial-rennet)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Step: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Step: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Step: Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce starts to thicken.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, try using coconut cream and nutritional yeast instead of heavy cream and Parmesan. This dish can be served over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles.
