Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally
  • 1½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 cups baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with the lemon pepper seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the skillet.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  7. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 4–5 minutes until fully cooked.
  10. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest, creamiest sauce.
  • Let the sauce simmer gently rather than boil to prevent separation.
  • Add a splash of chicken broth when reheating leftovers if the sauce thickens too much.
