What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (30g) yellow onion, finely chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup (50g) sun dried tomatoes
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1½ cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1 6 oz (170g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Fresh basil or Italian parsley, if desired
Preparation
- Add the melted butter, garlic, onion, chili flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, cream, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat.
- Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the onions have softened. Stir in the spinach and cheese.

- Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking in the microwave for 6-7 minutes, stirring half way, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Serving suggestions & tips
