Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return the chicken thighs to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the creamy sauce. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
