Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
