This Creamy Spinach Chicken is a flavorful, easy-to-make dinner made with pan-seared chicken breasts in a rich garlic parmesan sauce with sautéed spinach. It’s a comforting and quick weeknight meal packed with protein and creamy goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauce)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 5 oz fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Sear chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste or omit for a milder dish.
