Ingredients
  

Golden Seared Chicken
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Velvety Tuscan Cream Sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil

Method
 

Cooking Method
  1. Pat chicken cutlets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  3. Sear chicken cutlets undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Transfer to a warm plate and set aside.
  4. Lower skillet heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken bone broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the golden browned bits (fond) from the pan bottom.
  5. Pour in heavy whipping cream and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and fresh baby spinach in batches. Cook for 2 minutes until spinach is wilted and cheese is completely melted into a glossy sauce.
  7. Nestle the seared chicken cutlets and any plate juices back into the skillet. Spoon the creamy sauce over top, simmer for 1 minute to warm through, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately.
