Creamy Tuscan Chicken With Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 
  1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
• 2-3 teaspoons kosher salt
• A few turns of freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1-2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• pasta for serving

Directions

1. In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium-high heat. 
2. Place flour in a small bowl or plate. 
3. Lightly sprinkle each side of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper, then dredge each side lightly through the flour. 
4. Shake off any excess, then place chicken breasts in the warm pan. 
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, just until browned and no longer pink in the center. 
6. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
7. If the skillet is dry, add a tiny bit more olive oil, followed by the garlic. 
8. Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. 
9. Add chicken broth, and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. 
10. Add cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. 
11. Cook over medium hear for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce visibly thickens.
12. Stir in spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until spinach wilts.
13. Add chicken back to the skillet, spoon a bit of sauce over each piece, and serve with pasta or other sides as desired.
