Equipment
- Large oven-safe skillet
- Spatula
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Oven
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped spinach. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Once done, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
