Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
Topping
  • Optional grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken cutlets dry, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken cutlets for 5–7 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C.
  2. Move the chicken to a plate and lower the skillet heat slightly.
  3. Cook the minced garlic in the skillet for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
  4. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and stir while loosening the browned bits from the skillet base to incorporate them into the sauce.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and mix until the leaves wilt into the cream sauce.
  7. Place the chicken and any collected juices back into the skillet, then simmer gently for 1–2 minutes until the chicken is covered with sauce.
Serving
  1. Finish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use a gentle simmer after adding the cream to help maintain a smooth sauce.
