Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner breasts
- 1½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ tablespoon butter
- ½ yellow onion finely diced
- ⅔ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- ⅛ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 pinches dried marjoram
- 2–3 pinches red pepper flakes
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- ⅔ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups baby spinach
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Generously salt and pepper the chicken breasts. Add the chicken breasts; cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir several times. Add the sundried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Add the garlic, oregano, parsley, basil, marjoram, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Add the chicken broth and cream; stir to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve promptly, spooning the sauce over the chicken. If desired, serve over pasta or rice.
