Notes
- Don't cook this recipe on high, because the cream will curdle.
- While I usually opt for chicken breasts, boneless, skinless chicken thighs work beautifully, too.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- If you're not a fan of spinach, you can substitute it with another leafy green or leave it out completely.
- Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water to make a slurry if your sauce is too thin. Stir it into the sauce and cook for another 15-20 minutes.
