Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 5-6 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Mix gently and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, either as is or paired with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
