Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken breasts until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve the creamy spinach chicken warm, garnished with additional parmesan if desired.

Notes

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
