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, until golden brown and reached 165 degrees F internally.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.
Cook the shallot in the same pan until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and sauté for 20-30 seconds, then incorporate sun-dried tomato strips for another minute.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping down any browned bits, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, then taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Mix in the spinach and chopped basil until wilted.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta or mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
This dish pairs excellently with pasta if you desire a heartier meal.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
