Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 big or 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (600 g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced (50 g)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (60 g)
  • 2 handfuls of baby spinach (150g)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. First, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add half of the butter.
  3. Then, cook the chicken on each side, and when cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
  4. Add the remaining butter to the pan, melt, and saute the garlic and onion until soft.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Use a large pan: Ensure you use a large pan, so nothing overflows.
