One Pan Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Spinach
I’ve had a jar of oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, starring at me in my pantry. Basically screaming at me through the glass, for me to devour.
WHY did it take me SO long to make this?
Let’s jazz up the boring chicken breast and coat it with some cream (that’s dairy free) and make this luxurious meal that comes together – perfect for any day of the week when you are short on time.
Short and Sweet.
And finally, take a look at that ingredients list. So short and simple. I bet you have everything in your pantry and refrigerator right now to make this One Pan Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Spinach recipe!
SO plan to make it this weekend.

One Pan Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Spinach
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2–4 chicken breasts
- salt + pepper
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 heaping teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 heaping tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 tablespoons tomato oil, from the jar
- 1 8 oz. can of full fat coconut milk
- 2 handfuls fresh spinach
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron pan or other heavy duty pan on high heat with the olive oil in it. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, on both sides.
- When the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts. Don’t move them until the sides start to turn white and they are crispy brown. Flip and turn the heat to medium. Add the sliced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, oil from the jar and coconut milk. Sprinkle in a pinch of each salt and pepper. When the coconut milk comes to a simmer, cook for 2 more minutes. Turn heat off and add the fresh spinach. Using tongs, move everything around so that the spinach cooks.
- Serve at once with the pan sauce.
Notes
It’s great over gluten free pasta, brown rice or handfuls of more fresh spinach. Let’s eat.
