Directions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
    • Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Sauce:
    • In the same pan, add butter, chopped onions, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy.
  3. Add Spinach and Parmesan:
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt into the sauce while simmering.
  4. Combine and Simmer:
    • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Return the cooked chicken breasts back to the pan, nestling them into the creamy sauce.
    • Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, garnish with fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
    • Serve the Creamy Chicken and Spinach alone for a keto-friendly meal, or pair it with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. Alternatively, serve over pasta for non-keto family members.
