Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and reserved sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
Cook the shallot in the same pan until soft, approximately 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and sauté briefly, then add sun-dried tomato strips for another minute.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom for browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring often to combine.
Stir in the spinach and basil until wilted.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over it, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with fresh bread.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if desired.
For added flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for the best taste.
