Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large chicken breasts (lightly pounded to even thickness)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (hand shredded or grated)
2 tablespoons European Style Butter
¼ cup European Style Butter
4 garlic cloves (minced)
8.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (drained and rinsed)
1 tablespoon flour
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
½ cup parmesan cheese (grated or hand shredded)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Season each side of each pounded chicken breast with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
  • Combine flour and grated parmesan in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and stir/melt.
  • Cook the chicken (in batches if necessary) for 4-5 minutes per side or until its fully cooked (165F in the center and no longer pink) and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with foil.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and return the skillet to medium high heat and add the remaining ¼ cup butter. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as the butter melts. The brown bits hold a lot of flavor, so no need to remove.
  • Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour and allow to thicken for approximately 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add the spinach and reduce heat to simmer. Allow to cook until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Allow to continue to simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips

- **Choosing the Right Chicken**: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and a tender texture. - **Marinating**: Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for extra flavor. Marinating time can range from 30 minutes to overnight. - **Searing**: Sear the chicken in a hot skillet until golden brown on both sides. This creates a flavorful crust and helps lock in the juices. - **Cooking the Sauce**: Simmer the tomato sauce with garlic, onion, oregano, and basil until it's thick and flavorful. You can also add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or capers for a richer taste. - **Baking**: Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish, top with the tomato sauce, and bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken. - **Serving**: Garnish the chicken with fresh basil or parsley and serve with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables. ###
