Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Mix in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden.
Serve warm, spooning the creamy spinach sauce over the chicken. Enjoy!
