Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

4 cups baby spinach

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with lemon pepper.
  3. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté onion in the same skillet for 3 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  6. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the skillet.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 1 minute.
  8. Add parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  9. Stir in spinach in batches until wilted.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Serve immediately over your choice of side.

Notes

  • Cream Alternative: Heavy cream is best for a rich sauce. Avoid milk or half-and-half.
  • Chicken Prep: Thinner pieces cook faster and stay juicy.
  • Spinach: Add in batches for even wilting.
  • Serving: Works great with zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or steamed veggies.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain creamy texture.
