Instructions
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place flour on a medium plate. Dredge each chicken breast with flour, patting off any excess.
- Heat a large skillet with high sides to medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear until brown, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. (The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point--it will finish cooking in a later step.)
- Add the remaining ½ tablespoon butter to the pan. Lower heat to medium, and add peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides. Be careful to not burn the garlic.
- Add wine. Bring it up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half. Once the wine has reduced, pour in the cream. Again, bring the cream and wine up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- Add the chicken back to the sauce, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 160℉).
- Once the chicken is cooked, add in the spinach. Shut the lid and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Storage: Store creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- Store creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- If your garlic cloves are really big, cut them in half so they're all roughly the same size.
- You can sub in boneless chicken thighs if you like.
