Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped	1 small jar
Garlic, minced	4 cloves
Heavy cream	½ cup

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the oregano. This helps build a flavorful base for the dish.

Step 2: Brown the Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. If desired, add a small amount of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Build the Flavor Base

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Stir in the minced garlic, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and remaining oregano. Cook until fragrant and softened.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce becomes smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Add the Spinach

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring gently to incorporate it into the sauce.

Step 6: Finish Cooking the Chicken

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce and finish cooking through.

Step 7: Serve

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Enjoy this creamy, comforting take on Chicken Parmesan.
