  10. 3 minced garlic cloves
  11. 1-cup heavy cream

  14. 1 tsp dry Italian seasoning
  15. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  16. 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  17. Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

First, prep the chicken

Chicken Seasoning:

  • Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic, and onion powder.

Cook Chicken:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Add the chicken breasts and heat for 6-7 minutes per side until done and golden brown. Internal temperature should be 165°F (74°C). Take the chicken out of the skillet and plate it.

Second: Make Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Sauté mushrooms:

  • To the same skillet, add butter and olive oil. After melting, add sliced mushrooms. Sauté mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden.

Add garlic:

  • Add minced garlic and simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Make Sauce:

  • Add heavy cream and chicken broth. Mix well and boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 3–4 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Cheese with seasonings:

  • Add grated Parmesan cheese slowly until melted and creamy. If using, add dried Italian spice and crushed red pepper flakes. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Third, mix and serve

Add Spinach:

  • Add fresh spinach and simmer for 1-2 minutes to wilt.

Return Chicken to Skillet:

  • Spoon sauce and vegetables over cooked chicken breasts in the skillet. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavours and heat chicken.

Serve:

  • Spoon creamy Parmesan sauce and veggies over chicken breasts. It goes nicely with rice, spaghetti, or mashed potatoes.
  • Perfect Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Parmesan Sauce Tips
  • For consistent cooking, keep chicken breasts the same thickness. Maybe pound them to an equal thickness before cooking.
  • Thin the sauce with chicken stock or cream if it gets too thick.
  • Deglaze the skillet with white wine after sautéing the mushrooms and before adding the cream to enhance flavour.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or hob.

Conclusion

  • Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Parmesan Sauce is a delicious and elegant weeknight or special occasion meal. Delicious chicken, mushrooms, and Parmesan sauce provide a delicious and filling supper. This tasty recipe goes well with your favorite sides for a complete feast!
