Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sun dried tomato oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken cutlets by slicing the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Optional: Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken and even out the thicker parts.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat it in flour.
  • In a large skillet on medium heat, add the sun dried tomato oil and melt the butter.
  • Cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up the browned bits (flavor!).
  • Turn the heat to medium low and mix in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, and sun dried tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes then add the spinach and chicken back in. Simmer for a few more minutes to wilt the spinach and warm the chicken.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve over rice or pasta.

Notes

  • Use half white wine and half chicken stock for an extra layer of flavor.
