Ingredients

  • 4 thin sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Season the chicken on both sides with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on both sides for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until translucent and soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in heavy cream, add cream cheese, and stir constantly over medium low heat until cream cheese melts and sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add shredded Parmesan and stir until fully incorporated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve hot with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. Thin sliced breasts help cook faster. For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes with the Parmesan.
