For the Sauce:
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Instructions
- 1. Prep Your Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 2. Sear the Chicken
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sear the seasoned chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.

- 4. Add Spinach
- Incorporate fresh spinach into the sauce, stirring until wilted (around 2 minutes).
- 5. Combine Chicken and Sauce
- Return seared chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Allow to simmer together for an additional few minutes.
- 6. Serve It Up
- Plate or serve family-style from the skillet, drizzling extra sauce on top. Pair with pasta or crusty bread.
