"Marry Me" Tuscan Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or a mix of individual spices such as oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, *see note above for dairy-free options

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan

Directions

  • Prep the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

  • Sear the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside

  • Cook the onions. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.

  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant.

  • Add the spinach, and saute another minute, until just starting to wilt.

  • Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.

  • Let it simmer. Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
