Chicken and Spinach in Feta Cream Sauce
Description
This recipe starts with cooking chicken breast with garlic and chopped onion until fully cooked, then removing it from the pan. The creamy sauce is prepared by adding chicken broth, sour cream, crumbled feta cheese, Parmesan, and black pepper to the pan and mixing thoroughly. Fresh spinach is then added and cooked over medium heat until wilted.
The shredded chicken is returned to the sauce and simmered over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes to meld the flavors and heat through. This sauce is served over cooked penne or rigatoni pasta, creating a dish with a creamy, tangy profile from the feta and sour cream combined with spinach and tender chicken pieces.
