Chicken with Spinach in Creamy Parmesan Sauce

CHICKEN WITH SPINACH IN CREAMY PARMESAN SAUCE

This became a fast favorite in our family.

Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 large onion minced
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small jar sun-dried tomatoes drained from oil and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or more if desired
  • 1 large package spinach
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with a bit of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until browned. Once done and no longer pink, transfer grilled chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
  3. To make the creamy spinach parmesan sauce, add the remaining tablespoon butter to the same pan. Cook onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and sun-dried tomatoes. Slowly add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese and mix to combine until smooth while simmering for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Add spinach to the mixture and continue cooking until wilted. Add the chicken breasts back to the pan and reheat for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
