Combine and Serve
This recipe works wonderfully with boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even seared shrimp. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Incorporate sautéed mushrooms, quartered artichoke hearts, or roasted red peppers along with the shallots for extra nutrients and flavor.
Increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper with the garlic for a spicier kick.
Replace the heavy cream with an equal amount of half-and-half or evaporated milk for a lower-fat version. The sauce will be less thick but still delicious.
The chicken breast provides high-quality lean protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, including Vitamin K for bone health, Vitamin A for vision, and iron for energy production. Sun-dried tomatoes offer a concentrated source of Vitamin C and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
Parmesan cheese is a good source of calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that are crucial for maintaining strong and healthy bones.

While delicious, this dish is quite indulgent due to its high content of saturated fat and sodium from the cream, butter, and cheese. It is, however, an excellent source of protein. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier version, consider using half-and-half and reducing the amount of cheese.
This dish is incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with pasta (like fettuccine or penne), creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. For a lower-carb option, serve it over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or with a side of steamed asparagus.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or chicken broth to loosen the sauce if it has thickened too much. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the chicken tough and the sauce separate.
Yes, you can. Use about 1 cup of frozen spinach. Make sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out as much excess water as possible before adding it to the sauce. This prevents the sauce from becoming watery.
Yes, with substitutions. Use a dairy-free butter alternative and full-fat coconut milk or a cashew cream blend in place of heavy cream. You can also use a dairy-free Parmesan alternative or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
