Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt & pepper, then coat them in flour.
- Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan's hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes/side or until golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth, cream cheese, and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the cheese has melted into a smooth sauce.
- Add the chopped artichokes and spinach to the pan. Let the spinach wilt. If you're noticing that the sauce is thickening up too much (it's personal preference how thick you want it), add a splash more chicken broth.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and add the chicken back into the pan. Cook for another few minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately with the sauce spooned over the chicken.
Notes
- This recipe goes much smoother if you take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter to warm up for at least an hour+ prior to starting cooking, or microwave it in 20-30 second intervals until super soft.
- You can use frozen spinach in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the water first.
- If using smaller chicken breasts, you can leave them intact, but keep in mind they'll need to cook longer.
