Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced into bite-sized pieces
8 oz Cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cups fresh baby spinach
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 5: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it begins to wilt.
Step 6: Return the seared chicken and its juices back into the skillet. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness, and make sure not to overcrowd the pan when browning mushrooms.
