Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of individual spices such as oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream *see note above for dairy-free options
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

Directions

1. Prep the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Sear the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
3. Cook the onions. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
4. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant.
5. Add the spinach, and saute another minute, until just starting to wilt.
6. Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stir together, and bring to a simmer.
7. Let it simmer. Place the chicken back in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
