- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Gather all ingredients and rinse spinach thoroughly.
- 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- 3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- 4. Pour in heavy cream, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce thickens.
