01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Season chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
05 - Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to meld flavors.
06 - Add baby spinach leaves to the sauce and cook until wilted, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
07 - Nestle chicken breasts back into the skillet within the sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to heat through.
08 - Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese.
