Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors.

  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer until it slightly thickens.

  6. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

  7. Add the fresh baby spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.

  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy spinach sauce. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes to blend flavors.

  9. Serve the Chicken Florentine hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
