Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. Season the thinly sliced chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  6. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate browned bits.
  8. Simmer the cream until thickened, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  9. Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted.
  10. Return the chicken to the skillet, coat with the sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce if needed.
