A creamy, one-pan chicken dish with spinach in a garlic-Parmesan sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Serve it over pasta or rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
  9. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or rice.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread.
  • Consider this an easy alternative to meal planning services for a satisfying home-cooked meal.
