Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and reserved sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook the shallot until soft for about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 20-30 seconds, then stir in sun-dried tomato strips for an additional minute.
Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and scrape down browned bits, then simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, along with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently simmer over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Add spinach and chopped basil, stirring until wilted.
Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the sauce over top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta or mashed potatoes, or with a fresh, crusty bread.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in herbs for a few hours before cooking.
Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for variety.
