For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or crème fraîche instead of heavy cream. To add depth, sauté a minced shallot or onion in the olive oil before adding the chicken. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the dish. Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
02
StepPour heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cream.
03
StepAdd chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Simmer until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
04
StepReturn the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Heat through, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately over your choice of pasta or rice. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
