Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 ounces mushrooms (white or brown), thickly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/2 cup green onion or chives, chopped
1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Instructions:
Prep the Ingredients:
Slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, and chop the green onions. Set all aside.
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four chicken cutlets. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Chicken:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Saute for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, and minced garlic. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Saute for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Make the Cream Sauce:
Stir in 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese over the top and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish the Dish:
Stir in 2 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves until they start to wilt.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, spooning some of the creamy sauce over the cutlets. Remove from heat.
