Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Butter
6–8 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 cups Fresh Spinach (optional)
1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp Black Pepper (or to taste)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper
  2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, then garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant
  4. Deglaze with Broth: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for 2-3 minutes
  5. Create the Cream Sauce: Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning
  6. Add Spinach (Optional): Stir in fresh spinach until it wilts
  7. Return Chicken to Skillet: Slice or leave chicken whole, then return to skillet, coating in sauce
  8. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite sides

Notes

For an even juicier result, boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used.

Adjust cooking times if using different cuts of chicken.
