Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 pieces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups fresh spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for a couple of minutes. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter to the sauce.
Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes.
Use chicken thighs for an even juicier version.
Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
