Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp butter
16g
4 chicken breasts
470g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
72g
1/3 cup white wine
72g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
100g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 cup basil leaves
7g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic cloves and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
4. Deglaze with White Wine:
- Pour in 1/3 cup of white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for about 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
5. Add Dairy and Gravy:
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of chicken gravy. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Incorporate Spinach and Basil:
- Add 2 cups of fresh spinach and 1 cup of chopped basil leaves to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts and the basil is well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken to coat evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
8. Serve:
- Serve the One-Pot Italian Chicken hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired. It pairs well with pasta, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for a richer taste. Drain them well before adding to the dish to avoid extra oil.

- To enhance the flavors, marinate the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic, and some dried Italian herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or a milk and cornstarch mixture.

- Finish the dish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy flavor.

- Serve the One-Pot Italian Chicken over pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

- Feel free to add other veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers to make the dish more colorful and nutritious.

This One-Pot Italian Chicken is both hearty and flavorful, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner or an impressive meal for guests. With minimal cleanup and maximum flavor, it's a dish you'll want to make repeatedly.
