Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally to make 4 thinner cutlets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)

Instructions:

1.     Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of your chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.

2.    Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets and sear for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3.    Build the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Don't let it burn!

4.   Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds so much flavor!

5.   Creamy Goodness: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

6.   Wilt the Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, stirring until it wilts down into the sauce.

7.    Cheese Please: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

8.   Combine & Serve: Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy Tuscan sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for a minute or two to warm through.

Serve immediately and prepare for rave reviews! Garnish with a little extra fresh Parmesan or a sprinkle of fresh basil if you like.
