Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds (700 grams) large boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt ((adjust to your tastes))
  • 3/4 teaspoon black cracked pepper ((adjust to your tastes))
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons reserved sun dried tomato oil (or olive oil, divided)
  • For The Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
  • 5 oz 150g jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil (drained (reserve 3 tablespoons of oil for cooking))
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy or thickened cream ((or evaporated milk for lower calorie/fat))
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (to serve)

Instruction

  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and onion powder.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved sun dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes each side, or until golden and cooked through (work in batches if your pan isn't large enough). Transfer to a warm plate; set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil into the pan and fry the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), then add in the sun dried tomatoes. Fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavours. Mix the Dijon through all of the flavours.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream (or evaporated milk) and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, then add in the parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan; top with parsley and serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.
