Pack down 2 cups of baby spinach and set aside.

For the cream sauce, prepare 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Season 4 chicken breasts on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan on medium high heat.

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.

If the pan is dry, add more oil, then add the diced onion and stir for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic to the pan, stirring for another minute until fragrant.

Add the baby spinach to the pan and stir until it starts to wilt, about 1 minute.

Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce comes to a simmer with bubbles.

Return the chicken breasts to the pan using tongs and let them simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through and coated in sauce.
