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 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, add the heavy cream, and stir until combined.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Toss in the fresh spinach leaves and Italian seasoning, cooking until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the chicken to soak up the flavors.
Serve the chicken hot, with the creamy sauce and spinach over the top.
