Ingredients  

  • 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
  • black pepper 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.
  5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, saute to combine the flavors, and pour the heavy cream into the pan. Add the parmesan cheese, and simmer until it reduces slightly.
  6. Finally, add the spinach and gently stir to combine with the sauce. Return the chicken to the pan, then spoon sauce over the top and serve.

Notes

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.
If you have thick chicken breasts: Cut them lengthwise so they cook faster.
