Ingredients:
Chicken
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp garlic flakes
½ tsp Italian seasoning (dried herbs: thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary)
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (thin)
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp black pepper, coarse
¼ tsp salt
Garlic Cream Sauce
14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (1 can or about 1 cup)
2 tbsp capers, drained
1 c heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp paprika
6 ounces of spinach fresh
salt to taste
4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (about ¼ c)
Directions:
For the Chicken:
In a mixing bowl, add salt, garlic flakes, Italian seasoning, paprika, and coarse black pepper. Whisk everything until well incorporated. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the chicken and rub each to coat.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken into the hot skillet, then sear each side for about 5 minutes. Transfer them onto a clean plate.
For the Garlic Cream Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic, capers, chopped artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until aromatic.
Add the fresh spinach and cook until completely wilted.
Add paprika and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir until well blended. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to get the browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for about a minute, then season with salt and paprika.
To Assemble:
Put the chicken back into the skillet, then toss until coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for 2 more minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
Serve right away. Enjoy!
