A comforting weeknight dish featuring tender garlic-seared chicken breasts bathed in a creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan. Perfect for family meals or meal prep, this Tuscan-inspired recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced into small even cubes
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and mostly cooked through. Transfer to a plate
Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet, then stir in the diced onion. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant
Pour in chicken broth and scrape the pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and paprika until smooth
Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Cook until spinach wilts and sauce thickens, about 4 minutes
Return chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes to coat. Garnish with herbs if desired

Notes

Parmesan can be omitted for dairy-free adaptation
Chicken broth should be unsalted if monitoring sodium
Sun-dried tomatoes add robust flavor – no oil-preserved variety is required
For meal prep, store in airtight containers for up to 3 days
