1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
1½ cups baby spinach
Instructions

4. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese. Let it simmer to thicken slightly.
5. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
6. Toss in sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until spinach is wilted.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer a few more minutes until everything is heated through.

Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
If your sun-dried tomatoes are dry-packed, soak them in warm water before adding.
This dish pairs wonderfully with zucchini noodles for a low-carb side.
