Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then add them to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 tbsp butter, cooking for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce and spinach over them, sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and heat for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and everything is warmed through.
