Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts OR 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (at least one per person)
- ¼ cup flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 ounce can artichoke hearts quartered, (drained, about 1 cup of artichoke hearts)
- 2 cups packed baby spinach leaves
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup heavy cream (see note)
- ¼ cup shaved or finely shredded parmesan cheese
- freshly cracked black pepper for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Toss in the flour to coat (you might not end up using all of the flour, that's okay - just discard any excess).
- Cook chicken in a greased pan or skillet over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Melt butter in the pan. Add artichokes, garlic, and spinach to pan. Saute over medium heat 3-4 minutes until spinach is wilted and artichokes begin to brown on the edges.
- Add chicken broth to pan and stir for 3-5 minutes until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer chicken back to pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and allow to melt for a minute or so. Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper and serve hot.

Notes
- You can sub another milk, such as Half and Half for the heavy cream for a lighter version - note that the sauce will be slightly less rich and not quite as thick if you don't use heavy cream but still very delicious.
