Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer.
Return the browned chicken to the skillet.
Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot.
Notes
For a milder flavor, omit the red pepper flakes.
You can substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs, but adjust cooking time to prevent drying out.
Add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
