- Lower the heat to medium and let the pan cool for a minute or two. Add the remaining tablespoon of sun dried tomato oil, the minced garlic and the sun dried tomato strips, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the chicken stock and the Italian herbs and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by about half.
- Add the cream and bring back to a simmer, stirring from time to time.
- Once simmering, stir in the remaining parmesan until melted into the sauce.
- Add the baby spinach and pine nuts and stir gently until the spinach starts to wilt.
- Return the chicken to the pan, coat it in the sauce and heat until hot. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes or rice.
