Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and zest; bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream, and let simmer for about five minutes until slightly thickened. Mix in grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Add spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted (about one minute). Return the chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over each piece.
  6. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced lemon before serving warm.
