Ingredients
- 2 thick boneless skinless chicken breasts or 4 chicken cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic about 6 cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice 2 thick boneless skinless chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thin, even pieces. Alternatively, you can use 4 chicken cutlets which just refers to chicken breasts that are already sliced this way.
- Season each piece of chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon granulated garlic.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use tongs to lay the chicken into the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the browned chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Meanwhile, slice 8 ounces mushrooms. When the chicken is done browning, melt 4 tablespoons butter in the same skillet (without wiping it out) over medium-high heat. Add in 8 ounces white or cremini mushroomshe sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mushrooms have a touch of browning on them.
- Add in 1 cup baby spinach, 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flourSauté for just 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is more golden and fragrant, the flour has dissolved, and the spinach has begun to wilt.
- Stir in 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning. Once it just starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low. Stir in 1 cup grated parmesan cheese until melted.
- Add the chicken back into the pan. Let the sauce continue to thicken over low heat, about 3-4 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve hot. The chicken and sauce can be served as is or served over cooked pasta, steamed rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Adding flour to thicken the sauce is optional.
