Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thinly-sliced (about 1-1.5 pounds) (see note 1))
2-3 teaspoons kosher salt
a few turns of freshly-ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic (minced (see note 2))
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1-2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped (see note 3) )
pasta (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium-high heat. Place flour in a small bowl or plate. Lightly sprinkle each side of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper, then dredge each side lightly through the flour. Shake off any excess, then place chicken breasts in the warm pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, just until browned and no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • If the skillet is dry, add a tiny bit more olive oil, followed by the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add chicken broth, and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce visibly thickens.
  • Stir in spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until spinach wilts.
  • Add chicken back to the skillet, spoon a bit of sauce over each piece, and serve with pasta or other sides as desired.

CROCK POT CORSICAN CHICKEN



Crock Pot Corsican Chicken image

I nice crockpot recipe for a great chicken dish. I use this Recipe #18553 recipe for what is called for. It's great to have made up ahead of time just for dishes like this. The use of chicken thighs instead of breasts makes the dish cheaper and more flavorful. Don't let the long ingredient list scare you away. It only looks like a fancy pants recipe. Once you throw it all together in the crockpot, the most work you have to do is in making the sauce at the end.
