Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breast sliced thin
  • 3 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes liquid included
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium, add in half the butter and oil.  Add in the chicken, half the salt and pepper, then sauté for a few minutes on each side or until lightly golden.  Remove and set side.
  2. Add in the remaining butter, then sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes, or until they have some good color.  Sauté the garlic for 20 seconds, careful not to burn it!  Add in the diced tomatoes with their liquid/sauce, tomato paste and the spinach and stir until the spinach has wilted.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream, mascarpone, parmesan cheese and remaining salt and pepper.  Once combined, add the chicken back in and simmer on medium low for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  4. Add the fresh basil and serve! Store leftovers in the fridge for a few days or freeze.
