  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add sundried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the creamy sauce over them.

Notes

Consider pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness for more tender and evenly cooked meat. Let the chicken rest after baking to retain its juices.
