Author:
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
  • 
4-5 large cloves garlic, smashed
  • 
¾ c. half and half
  • 1 c. chicken broth, preferably organic
  • 2 t. dried oregano
  • ⅓ c. Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
  • ⅓ c. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • ½ c. sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1½ c. baby spinach
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and garlic in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic for several minutes until golden brown. Remove garlic with a slotted spatula and discard.
  3. Add chicken to hot skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add half & half and chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula.
  5. Add oregano and grated cheese to skillet and whisk until cheese is completely melted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to just below medium and add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tomatoes are softened and the spinach wilts.
  7. Add chicken and its juices back to skillet and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until chicken is heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
