Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb / 680 g)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups (about 3 oz / 85 g) fresh baby spinach

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, then place in an oiled 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk cream, broth, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and pepper flakes in a bowl. Pour around the chicken.
  3. Bake 25 to 28 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
  4. Tuck spinach around the chicken, sprinkle Parmesan over top, and bake 5 more minutes until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted. Serve with sauce spooned over.

Notes

Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes before serving; the sauce will thicken as it cools slightly, and the chicken will be juicier. If you like a little more tang, squeeze a wedge of lemon over the plate just before eating.
