Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 12 oz total
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to 165°F internally, then remove and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and half-and-half, stirring to combine.
  6. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the spinach and parmesan cheese until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce generously over the top.
  9. Simmer for 2 minutes until heated through.
  10. Slice the chicken and plate with sauce spooned over each serving.

Notes

Half-and-half creates the same creamy Tuscan sauce as heavy cream for less money, and a jar of sun-dried tomatoes in oil stretches across several meals — this whole restaurant-style dinner still lands under $10 for two.
