Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning For seasoning the chicken
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder For seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt For seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper For seasoning
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1.3 lb. (Main protein source)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the chicken
  • 2 tablespoon butter For sautéing garlic
  • 2 cloves garlic minced For flavoring the sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth For deglazing and creating the sauce base
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard For a tangy flavor in the sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce For depth of flavor
  • cup heavy cream For creaminess
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese For adding richness and flavor
  • 2 cups spinach For a fresh and nutritious addition

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Using a sharp knife, fillet each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets. Season the chicken on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Lower the heat to medium-low and sauté the garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring to incorporate until the spinach wilts.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let the chicken heat through, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve hot with your favorite side dish.

Notes

A creamy and indulgent dish that's perfect for a cozy dinner night. The Dijon mustard adds a zesty touch, while the spinach gives it a fresh twist.
