Ingredients
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce heat to low. Whisk in the kvarg until smooth and creamy. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and chicken to reheat.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
💡 Pro Tip
For an even richer sauce, use full-fat kvarg. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash more chicken broth. Serve with whole grain pasta, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
