Chicken with Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach
Ingredients
- 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 1 lbs total
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, sliced thinly
- Rice or pasta to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the heavy cream, water, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously over medium-low heat until the sauce starts to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
