Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts Feel free to substitute with chicken thighs for more flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Avocado oil works well too for high-heat cooking.
For the Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust according to your taste preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust according to your taste preferences.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh is best; garlic powder can be an acceptable stand-in.
  • 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Roasted red peppers can be used for a change in flavor.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Half-and-half or dairy-free cream can be used for a lighter option.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs Using fresh herbs like basil or oregano brings brightness to the dish.
For the Vegetables
  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach Kale or Swiss chard makes a great alternative.

Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare an oven-safe skillet.
  2. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the Italian herbs. Let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Gently stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Serve the chicken drizzled with the creamy sauce, potentially with crusty bread or over pasta.

Notes

Consider adding grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor. This dish reheats well, so make extra for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
