Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and sear it in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  • Cook the spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Make the creamy sauce: Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and parsley. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
  • Combine and serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy spinach sauce over the top. Let the chicken warm through in the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
