Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cups fresh spinach
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Season each chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for one minute until fragrant. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and dried herbs, then add chicken broth and heavy cream; bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add spinach on top, and let simmer for an additional five minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Serve drizzled with sauce.
