4 servings
Servings4
4 chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness)
¼ cup flour (plus a tablespoon)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp oil
4 Tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
3/4 cup chicken broth
½ cup sun dried tomatoes (in oil, chopped)
2 cups baby spinach
1 tsp oregano
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

1

Pound the chicken breasts so they are an even thickness of about an inch thick then season with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.

2

Add the oil and half the butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add two chicken breasts and cover. Cook for about 4 minutes on either side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate then repeat for the remaining chicken breasts. Wipe the pan down if needed.

3

Lower heat to medium-low, add the remaining two tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once melted add in the minced garlic and a tablespoon of flour and cook while stirring constantly for about 45 seconds then whisk in the chicken stock and oregano. Cook until reduced then stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, and sun dried tomatoes.

4

Once the mixture is at a simmer add the spinach and cook until wilted, stirring as needed. Return chicken to pan to warm through then spoon sauce over top, and serve.
