Ingredients
1 ½ lbs chicken tenders
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 cups baby spinach
Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Optional: 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes. (Add mushrooms now if using, and cook until soft.)
Pour in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
Add spinach (and roasted red peppers if using), stirring until wilted.
Return chicken to the skillet, coat with sauce, and simmer 2 more minutes.
Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
