Ingredients
 
 

  • lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped, oil-packed
  • 3 cup fresh spinach
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Brown chicken 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer 5 minutes.
  4. Return chicken to the pan. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and simmer 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
  5. Add spinach and red pepper flakes. Cook 2 minutes until spinach is wilted. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.

Notes

Net Carbs: 3g per serving (4g carbohydrates − 1g fiber).
Substitutions: Use full-fat coconut cream in place of heavy cream for a dairy-free version (flavor will be slightly different). Add ½ cup drained artichoke hearts for extra fiber and a Mediterranean touch.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The cream sauce thickens considerably when chilled.
Reheating: Warm gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Add a splash of chicken broth to loosen the sauce as needed. Do not boil.
