A delightful dish featuring tender chicken in a creamy, rich sauce with fresh spinach, reminiscent of the best Italian bistros.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, cooking them until golden brown—about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, without letting it burn.
  3. Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about a couple of minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese gradually, allowing it to melt smoothly.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating each piece with the creamy sauce.
  6. Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top if desired.

Notes

Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or red pepper flakes for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
