Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately over pasta or rice.
