Ingredients

• 2 T. butter
• 1 c. onion, finely chopped
• 7 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 3 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 3/4 c. dry white wine (or chicken stock)
• 4 c. cooked shredded chicken
• 1 t. Italian seasoning
• 1 t. garlic powder
• 1 t. onion powder
• 1/2 t. garlic salt
• 1/2 t. paprika
• 32 oz. chicken broth
• 1/2 c. heavy cream
• 1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 c. finely chopped fresh spinach

Steps

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. When the butter is sizzling, add the chopped onion; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cooking it slowly allows the natural sugar in the onion to caramelize, which provides a richer, deeper flavor.
2. When onions are translucent and have begun to brown slightly, add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; stir occasionally; saute another 3-4 minutes.
3. Increase heat to medium; pour in the wine. Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
