• Keto & Low-Carb Friendly: High in healthy fats and protein, keeping you full for hours.
• Quick & Easy: Made entirely in one skillet for effortless cleanup.
• Nutrient-Dense: Packed with fresh spinach and antioxidant-rich sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless, sliced horizontally into thin cutlets)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• ½ cup Chicken Bone Broth (or low-sodium chicken broth)
• ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
• ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (drained and chopped)
• 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken cutlets generously with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Build the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and melted.
4. Add Greens & Tomatoes: Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, remaining Italian seasoning, and fresh baby spinach. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Combine & Serve: Nestled the seared chicken back into the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh basil or extra Parmesan if desired.
