Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat on the stovetop to avoid drying out the chicken.
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Serve with cauliflower rice or zoodles.
Tip: Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for richer flavor, but drain them to avoid extra unnecessary oil.
Common Mistake: Overcooking the chicken can make it dry. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F and remove it from heat promptly.
