Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can serve this dish with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a touch of red pepper flakes into the sauce.
