Creamy Garlic Chicken with Spinach Flavorful Delight
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 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, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring to a light simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce, mixing until it’s fully incorporated and creamy.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt in the sauce for about 2 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy spinach sauce. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
