Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces

- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer and thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
