Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless
2 cups fresh spinach washed and trimmed
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped drained if in oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded for topping
2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes until the spinach wilts.
Reduce heat and add heavy cream, mixing until combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Place the seared chicken in a baking dish and pour the creamy mixture over the top.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the oven or microwave.
