Creamy Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts
Description
Creamy Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts combine simple ingredients to develop a rich, smooth sauce around tender, golden-cooked chicken. The recipe starts with searing chicken breasts in butter to achieve a browned exterior and fully cooked interior. Utilizing the fond from searing, diced mushrooms are cooked until browned and then wilted spinach is added, building layers of flavor and texture.
The addition of heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and garlic parsley salt creates a luscious sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables, enriched by the butter base and umami from the mushrooms and cheese. This makes for a velvety finish with savory notes.
Serve this dish immediately to enjoy the fresh cream sauce and tender chicken texture. It can be paired well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce, making it suitable for a satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast
- 4 oz butter unsalted
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients for the recipe.
- Preheat a skillet with butter. Cook chicken breast on both sides until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken breast from the skillet and set aside.
- Into the same skillet (keep the brown bits from the chicken!), add in diced mushrooms and cook them until they turn golden brown. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts.
- Add pan-seared chicken back into the skillet, followed by heavy whipping cream, parmesan, and garlic salt. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove from heat
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
