Prep your ingredients by chopping shallots and garlic before starting.

Heat olive oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, keeping them spaced apart.

Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes on one side, then flip to the other side.

Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F, checking with a thermometer.

Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it in a foil package to keep warm in the oven.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add a generous splash of champagne vinegar and sauté for another couple of minutes.

Stir in heavy cream and let it heat until it simmers.

Add sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste to the cream sauce for color and flavor.

Add fresh oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing everything together.

Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors.

Add a generous handful of fresh spinach to the sauce, mixing until wilted.

Turn off the heat and assemble the dish by placing the chicken in the sauce and spooning the sauce over the chicken.
