Instructions

Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, oregano, sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge each chicken piece, shaking off the excess.
Add chicken to skillet, brown each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté until garlic is fragrant.
Add mushrooms, cook for about 5 minutes until brown.
Stir in heavy cream and chicken stock, allowing the mixture to simmer.
Return chicken to the skillet, coat with creamy sauce. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Sprinkle Parmesan over chicken and stir in spinach until wilted.
Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

For intense flavor, marinate chicken with herbs and spices before cooking.
Experiment with different mushroom varieties for enhanced taste.
Use fresh herbs for a fresher taste.
For a dairy-free option, replace heavy cream with coconut milk.
Pair with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the sauce.
