Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half if very large to aid cooking time
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 300ml double cream
- 150ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp italian herb seasoning, or mixed herbs
- 1 tbsp garlic granules, or garlic powder
- 100g parmesan cheese, grated
- 100g gruyère cheese, grated
- pinch of salt
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 150g spinach, roughly chopped
- 250-300g sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme, flowers only (optional)
- handful of fresh, flat leaf parsley, chopped finely, for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large pan and cook the chicken breasts over a medium-high heat for 4-7 minutes each side until browned and cooked through with no pink meat or juice remaining. Remove from the pan and put to one side.
- Add the cream, chicken stock, garlic, italian seasoning, salt, pepper and cheese to the pan. Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes while whisking, until cheese melts and sauce thickens.
- Add in the spinach, sundried tomatoes and fresh thyme. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts down.
- Add the chicken breasts back into the pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsely, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
