Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 large chicken breasts lightly pounded to even thickness
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
For the Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons + ¼ cup Kerrygold salted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 8.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated or hand shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  1. Season each side of each pounded chicken breast with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
  2. Combine flour and grated parmesan in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and stir/melt.
  4. Cook each chicken breast for 4-5 minutes per side or until its fully cooked (165F in the center) and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate..
  5. In the same pan over medium heat, add remaining ¼ cup butter. Use a wooden spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any bits to add extra flavor to sauce.
  6. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  7. Whisk in the flour and allow to slightly thicken.
  8. Gently whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  9. Add the spinach and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until spinach has wilted, and the sauce has thickened more.
  10. Add the chicken back into the skillet. Coat with sauce. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
