Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the chicken
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Make sure both sides are coated evenly for better flavor during cooking.
Cook the chicken
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked inside. Remove and set aside.
Sauté garlic
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Cook for one minute until fragrant but not burnt for best taste.
Add spinach
- Add fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until wilted and soft, stirring gently for even cooking.
Make the sauce
- Pour in chicken broth and cream. Stir well and let it simmer until slightly thickened and creamy.
Add cheese and seasoning
- Add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until cheese melts and sauce becomes smooth and rich.
Combine chicken
- Place cooked chicken back into the skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken to coat evenly.
Simmer together
- Let everything simmer for 5–7 minutes. This helps flavors blend and chicken absorb the creamy sauce.
Serve hot
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan or herbs if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for best taste and texture.
- Pound chicken evenly for uniform cooking.
- Add mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
