Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups spinach leaves
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Notes
For a lighter version of the sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a mixture of milk and flour.
Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free broth and thickening agents if needed.
