- 1/2 cup heavy cream or canned coconut cream (not the same as ‘cream of coconut’)
- 1/4 cup is one low-FODMAP serving
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus additional for serving
- Parmesan is naturally low in FODMAPs

- 5 ounces (143 g) fresh spinach, lightly torn
- 75 g is one low-FODMAP serving
- Higher amounts contain high levels of fructans
- 3 tablespoons (14g) fresh basil; chopped, plus for garnish
Directions
- Pound your chicken breasts using a mallet or rolling pin between plastic wrap or parchment to tenderize
- Place 4 tablespoons of flour, low-FODMAP Italian seasoning, salt and pepper on a shallow plate, and mix lightly
- Lightly dredge chicken in the flour mixture
- Heat 1 & 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or other oil in a skillet over medium high heat
- When the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side
- Remove chicken to a plate to keep warm (it will finish cooking later)
- To the skillet, add remaining 1 & 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes cook for 1 minute or until fragrant over medium or medium low (if you used oil packed tomatoes, they may not be as noticeably fragrant)
- Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon LF flour and allow to brown for approximately 1 minute
- Add the heavy cream, LF chicken broth, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 2 infused oils and stir to combine
- Allow to cook until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken, about 3 minutes
- Add the spinach and reduce heat if needed (the spinach will shrink as it cooks)
- Stir until the spinach wilts slightly
- Add the basil and mix it well into the sauce
- Taste sauce and add salt and pepper to your preference
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce
- Simmer until the chicken is heated through, and internal temperature is 165F, about 5 minutes
- Garnish with additional fresh parmesan and fresh basil and serve alongside your preferred low-FODMAP, GF Pasta or potatoes (try my low-FODMAP Lemon and Rosemary Roasted Potatoes!)
