Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

2 cups fresh spinach

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it burn.

        Make Creamy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all the flavors. Bring to a gentle simmer.

          Add Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted.

            Combine with Chicken: Reduce the heat to low, then return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Allow the chicken to simmer in the creamy sauce for about 5 minutes, ensuring it is heated through.

              Finish the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

                Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy garlic chicken and spinach skillet over pasta, rice, or on its own!
