Baking Tips

Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking

Don't skip searing the chicken - it adds incredible flavor to the sauce

Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor and texture

Fresh Parmesan cheese melts better than pre-grated varieties

Add spinach gradually so it wilts evenly without overwhelming the pan

Keep heat at medium-low when adding cream to prevent curdling

Scrape up browned bits when deglazing for maximum flavor

Let the dish rest briefly before serving to allow sauce to thicken

Taste and adjust seasoning at the end - the saltiness can vary with cheese and sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions

Pound chicken breasts to even 3/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Add sliced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Lower heat to medium-low and slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring constantly. Add Italian seasoning, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using.

Simmer the cream sauce for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken. Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Add fresh spinach to the skillet in handfuls, stirring gently until wilted. Season sauce with salt and white pepper to taste.

Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and parsley. Let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan, fresh basil, and lemon wedges on the side.
