Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) Thighs are juicier and more forgiving.
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic Fresh is best, but jarred works in a pinch.
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese Finely grated melts easiest.
- ⅓ cup Sun dried tomatoes The ones in oil are easiest, just drain them.
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 cups Spinach Optional, but a great addition.
Easy Swaps
- 1 can Coconut cream Use as a dairy-free substitute.
- 1 cup Half and half For a less strict keto version.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the chicken dry, season both sides with salt and pepper. If the breasts are thick, slice them in half lengthwise.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4 to 6 minutes per side until golden. Remove chicken onto a plate.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits.
- Lower the heat and add heavy cream, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and sun dried tomatoes. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Add chicken back into the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.
- If using spinach, toss it in at the end and let it wilt.
Notes
For a cozy meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat slowly for best results. Ideal served over cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles or in low-carb wraps.
