1 small yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
½ cup chicken broth
3 cups baby spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Fillets

INSTRUCTIONS
In a skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning and sauté another minute, until garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook just until starting to wilt.
Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and lemon zest, and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Reduce heat to low, arrange chicken fillets in skillet, spooning sauce over each fillet, and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
*Cook chicken until heated to a minimum of 165 degrees farenheit internal temperature (or as dictated by state or local codes) as verified by a calibrated thermometer.
