- 1.5 pounds Chicken Breast (thinly sliced into strips)
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (for lightly coating chicken)
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (for marinating and skillet)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, for sautéing onions)
- 1/2 cup Onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste))
- 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (chopped, oil‑packed)
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach (packed, roughly chopped)
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (full‑fat for richness)
- 1 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon Powder (or 1 cube dissolved in 1 tbsp water)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (adjust to heat preference)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Basil (chopped for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Seasoning Mix (salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (homemade))
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl combine the seasoning mix with 3 Tbsp olive oil, then add the sliced chicken. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Time: PT5M
Flour the Chicken
Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each marinated chicken strip in the flour, shaking off excess. No extra seasoning is needed in the flour.
Time: PT2M
Sear the Chicken
Heat the cast‑iron skillet over medium‑high heat. Add a splash of oil, then lay the floured chicken strips in a single layer. Cook 4‑5 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: Medium‑high heat
Set Chicken Aside
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and keep warm while you build the sauce.
Time: PT1M
Sauté Onions
Add 2 Tbsp butter to the same skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté 2‑3 minutes until translucent.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: Medium heat
Add Garlic and Sun‑Dried Tomatoes
Stir in the minced garlic (or paste) and chopped sun‑dried tomatoes. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: Medium heat
Wilt the Spinach
Add the fresh spinach and toss for 1‑2 minutes until it wilts down considerably.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Create the Cream Sauce
Pour in 1 cup heavy whipping cream, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken bouillon, grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of the original seasoning mix. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Low simmer
Combine Chicken and Sauce
Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, spoon sauce over the pieces, and let everything simmer together for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: Low heat
Finish and Serve
Stir in the chopped fresh basil, give a final taste and adjust salt/pepper if needed. Serve the creamy chicken over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
Time: PT2M
