Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Turn the chicken to coat it in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat.
Serve the keto creamy chicken with spinach hot, spooning the sauce over the top of the chicken.
