  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: Italian-American

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 cups fresh spinach (about 6 oz)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F). Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken broth, scraping browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes, then stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Stir in spinach until wilted. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer together for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier cut.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms with garlic for extra flavor.
  • Swap heavy cream with coconut cream for dairy-free.
  • Make keto-friendly with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
