Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
