Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Italian seasoning. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately directly from the pot.
Notes
You can serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard with the heavy cream.
