Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before adding them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

- Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
