Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and measuring spices.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides (5-7 minutes each side).
- Once nearly cooked through, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
- Pour in diced tomatoes and heavy cream, stirring gently. Mix in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Serve hot over pasta or rice, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Enhance flavor by adding sun-dried tomatoes or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
