Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil julienned or thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until golden on both sides - about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and add the minced garlic and chopped onions. Cook for several minutes until soft. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, white wine, cream, and chicken broth and stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce reduces slightly. Add the parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and simmer covered, over low heat until it is fully cooked through in the middle, another 3-5 minutes. Gently stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt. Check for seasoning and adjust with extra salt and pepper as needed.
