25 minutes
Ingredients
1 pound thin, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves (sliced)
1 cup heavy cream
1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts (drained)
2 tablespoons capers
4 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
Instructions

Note: If sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, omit the butter.

Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with mixture of the four spices. Sear with butter (or sun-dried tomato oil) in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Set chicken aside.

In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add garlic. Sauté for a minute or two. Pour in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, stir, then return chicken to skillet.

Cover with lid and continue cooking until chicken is heated through and spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
