Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 large pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil from sun-dried tomatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil from sun-dried tomatoes)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 1.5 cups half and half
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/4 cup julienne cut sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
- 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
- Kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Slice chicken breast in half lengthwise, creating 4 thinner pieces of chicken.
- Add chicken to a large bowl and add oil, Italian seasoning, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Toss to coat chicken breasts evenly.
- Add chicken to the heated pan and cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until a dark golden-brown crust forms and the chicken is cooked through or very nearly cooked through – you’ll cook it more in the sauce. Cook in batches depending on the size of your pan. Set aside to a plate.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and turn heat to medium-low. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
- Add white wine to the pan and deglaze the pan, scraping all the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add half and half to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Reduce heat and gently simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add Parmesan and stir until melted.
- Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and white balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Nestle chicken into the sauce. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 2-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pasta if desired and enjoy!
