Cook tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce using just one pot for simple preparation and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%) or heavy cream for richer sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the milk or heavy cream. Return the cooked chicken to the pot.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce without heavy cream, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water before adding it in step 6.
  • You can serve this dish over cooked pasta, rice, or alongside steamed green beans.
  • If you only have dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before chopping to soften them.
