Ingredients

  • 4 boneless and skinless thin chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano, divided
  • 2 tsp dried thyme, divided
  • 1 tsp chili flakes, more or less to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped roasted peppers
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    In a place add flour, paprika, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 salt, and 1/2 pepper. Give it a mix to combine. Dredge the chicken in the flour making sure to shake off the excess.

  2. 2

    Warm up a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil.

  3. 3

    Cook the floured chicken for 3-5 minutes on both sides, depending on how thick it is. Note: be careful not to over cook your chicken in this step as you will be adding it back to the heat at the end of this recipe.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the pan. Add in more olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and chili flakes. Allow the garlic and spices to toast for a minute or two. Be sure to mix often and keep a close eye on it so that the garlic doesn’t burn.

  5. 5

    When you can smell the aromas coming off the pan, add in your heavy cream, chicken stock, parmesan cheese, chopped roasted red peppers, spinach, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Give everything a nice mix to help the sauce come together.

  6. 6

    Let the sauce reduce for a couple minutes, then add in the cooked chicken. Scoop some of the sauce over the top of the chicken breast and allow the sauce to infuse. Don’t forget to taste and check if it needs some more salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Serve the chicken breasts whole or slice them up. Pour over sauce and serve it with your favorite side dish!
