Marry Me Chicken

Golden seared chicken in a rich, garlicky sun-dried tomato and Parmesan cream sauce with wilted spinach. Have bread ready for the sauce.

Ingredients

• 1½ lb chicken breasts, halved into cutlets
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, plus 1 tbsp of their oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan
• 3 handfuls baby spinach
• fresh basil
• 12 oz pasta or crusty bread, to serve

From your pantry: 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper.

Instructions

1. Season the cutlets with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Sear in the oil over medium-high until golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move to a plate.
2. Lower the heat. Add the sun-dried tomato oil, garlic and a pinch of pepper flakes for 30 seconds, then the sun-dried tomatoes.
3. Pour in the broth and scrape up the browned bits. Add the cream and simmer 3 minutes.
4. Stir in the Parmesan and spinach until the spinach wilts and the sauce is silky.
5. Return the chicken and its juices and spoon the sauce over. Finish with basil and serve over pasta or with bread.

Tip: Don't wipe out the pan after searing. Those browned bits are the base of the sauce.
