Chicken With Spinach And Mushrooms In Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.

5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
