Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with chicken broth or additional cream as needed.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy spinach sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
