Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In that same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
- Next, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Serve your dish hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional Parmesan if you wish!
Notes
Marinate chicken for 30 minutes for extra juiciness. Feel free to substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or use nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
