One Pan Chicken Breast With Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Spinach
What a delicious and simple dish. I know it feels a little cheeky with the cream, but honestly once you serve it to four people, you’re not actually getting that much cream!This dish can be made in under 30 minutes and it only uses one pan. If you’re really short on time, you can even skip crumbing the chicken breast and it’s still amazing!Serve on its own, on pasta or with steamed green beans. YUM!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
- 1 shallot finely sliced
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 1/2 cups white wine or chicken stock
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 3 cups spinach
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- Lay out the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper and give them a smash with a rolling pin to even out their size and tenderise the meat. Sprinkle over the salt and pepper, then dredge each side of the breasts in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and let them melt for 30 seconds. Add the chicken breasts and cook on each side for 4 minutes or until nearly cooked through. Remove and place on a clean plate.
- To the same frying pan, add the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and the remaining butter. Then add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir through for 2 minutes. Then add the white wine or stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and add the cream, stirring, for 2–3 minutes. Add the spinach and let it wilt down for 3 minutes. Stir through the grated parmesan and some extra pepper.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan and heat through for 3 minutes before serving.
