- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for searing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a large oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), then add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach until wilted (2-3 minutes).

- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is coated with the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
