Creamy Parmesan Garlic Mushroom Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by cooking thinly sliced chicken breasts in olive oil until browned and cooked through then setting them aside. Mushrooms are sautéed in the same skillet until tender to develop a savory base. A sauce is prepared by melting butter and cooking minced garlic, then stirring in flour to form a roux. Chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are whisked in, and chopped spinach is added and allowed to wilt as the sauce thickens.
The chicken and mushrooms return to the pan to warm in the creamy parmesan garlic sauce, combining flavors. The result is a rich, velvety dish featuring tender chicken and mushrooms with sharp cheese and garlicky richness. The spinach adds a touch of color and earthiness.
This chicken is suited to serve over pasta or rice to soak up the sauce. It works well for dinners where a comforting, elevated skillet meal is desired. The sauce’s thickness and cheesiness complement the succulent chicken slices.
