Yield: 3 Servings Prep Time: 5 min Cook time: 20 min
This creamy chicken breast recipe is an easy one-pan chicken dish that will wow the entire family for dinner!
Ingredients you need for the Creamy Chicken Breast in Spinach Parmesan Sauce
Directions
How to make the creamy chicken breast:
1. Thoroughly season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with a bit of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until browned. Once done and no longer pink, transfer grilled chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
3. To make the creamy spinach parmesan sauce, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same pan. Cook onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes. Slowly add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese and mix to combine until smooth while simmering for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
4. Add spinach to the mixture and continue cooking until wilted.
5. Add the chicken breasts back to the pan and reheat for 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve the creamy chicken breasts with spinach and parmesan sauce immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy! ❤️
