Description

Tender chicken cutlets simmered in a rich garlic parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun dried tomatoes. This comforting skillet dinner for two feels restaurant worthy while staying simple enough for a cozy weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken cutlets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup sliced sun dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add butter to the skillet, then cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sun dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until everything is heated through and flavorful.
  9. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and serve hot.

Notes

  • Freshly grated parmesan melts more smoothly into the sauce.
  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer to prevent separating.
  • Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
