Juicy chicken with a creamy flavorful sauce full of sun-dried tomatoes and garlic!

Duration:

PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes
YIELD: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 thin sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped spinach

Instructions

  1. Combine the paprika, garlic powder, and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken to coat.
  2. Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet.
  3. When the butter has melted add the chicken breasts and cook 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  5. Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the pan and stir well to combine. Let the sauce cook for 2 minutes to thicken over low heat.
  6. Add the spinach and stir well. Continue cooking over low heat until spinach has wilted and sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Heavy cream will make the thickest, creamiest sauce – milk will not work as a substitute.
