This dish features succulent chicken breasts lightly seasoned, which are seared to achieve a golden crust and then cooked in a rich cream sauce that combines the flavors of parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and a generous amount of spinach, resulting in a deliciously indulgent meal.
Serves: 4
700 grams/1 1/2 pounds large chicken
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1½ teaspoon paprika
1½ teaspoon onion powder
4 tablespoons sun dried tomato oil or olive oil
The Sauce:
2 tablespoons garlic, minced, about 6 cloves
½ cup white wine
50g sun dried tomato strips in oil drained (reserve 3 tablespoons of oil for cooking)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1½ cups heavy cream
3 cups baby spinach leaves
½ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and onion powder. In a large pan, over medium heat, heat the 2 tablespoons of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil. Sear the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. When done, transfer to a warm plate and set aside.
Add the remaining oil into the pan and sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.
Add the mustard and mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the cream and simmer. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the spinach to the sauce to wilt, then add the Parmesan.
Simmer for another 2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Return the chicken to the pan.
Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
