2. Sear the chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes per side depending on thickness). Remove and set aside.
3. Make the sauce
In the same skillet, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add sun-dried tomatoes. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits.
4. Add cream and cheese
Lower heat to medium and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Add spinach and chicken
Stir in fresh spinach until wilted, then return the chicken to the pan. Simmer for a few more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
6. Serve and savor
Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of sauce.
