The result is a hearty, flavorful meal that feels both comforting and elegant.
Perfect for a family dinner or a cozy night in, this dish brings together simple ingredients to create something truly special.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Chicken breasts | 2 |
| Butter | 3 tablespoons |
| Oregano | 1 tsp |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Onion, minced | 1 medium |
| Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped | 1 small jar |
| Garlic, minced | 4 cloves |
| Heavy cream | ½ cup |
| Chicken broth | ½ cup |
| Spinach | 1 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ⅓ cup |
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the oregano. This helps build a flavorful base for the dish.
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.
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.
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.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring gently to incorporate it into the sauce.
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.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Enjoy this creamy, comforting take on Chicken Parmesan.
