Step 1

Begin by pounding the halved chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2-inch thick). Season them with salt and black pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or use from the sun dried tomatoes) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced shallot and garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, and then add the cream cheese, chicken broth, half-and-half, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
