Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, baby spinach, and cherry tomatoes. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the top. Reduce the heat to low and let everything warm through for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken breasts with the creamy garlic sauce and vegetables over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
