Ingredients
  

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Lightly Pounded To Even Thickness
  • 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons European-style Butter
  • ¼ Cup European-style Butter
  • 4 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 8.5 Ounces Sun-dried Tomatoes Drained And Rinsed 1 Jar
  • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Low-sodium Chicken Broth
  • ½ Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Cup Baby Spinach Chopped
  • Chopped Fresh Parsley Optional For Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Season each side of each pounded chicken breast with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
  • Combine flour and grated parmesan in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and stir/melt.
  • Cook the chicken (in batches if necessary) for 4-5 minutes per side or until its fully cooked (165°F in the center and no longer pink) and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with foil.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and add the remaining ¼ cup butter. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as the butter melts. The brown bits hold a lot of flavor, so no need to remove them.
  • Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour and allow to thicken for approximately 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add the spinach and reduce heat to simmer. Allow to cook until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Allow to continue to simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
