- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium sized onion diced

- 3/4 cup canned full fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
Chicken
- In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub spice mixture evenly over all chicken breasts.
- Heat olive in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts (you may need to cook chicken in 2 or 3 batches). Cook 3 to 4 minutes a side, until each side of chicken is browned and breasts are cooked through.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Sauce
- Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute.
- Stir in coconut milk, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, and thyme. Reduce to a simmer and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Taste sauce and add additional salt and pepper as desired (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper).
- Next, stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and chopped baby spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted.
- Reduce heat to low. Return chicken to skillet and heat until chicken has warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Serve over spaghetti noodles.
