Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet, cooking until golden brown (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  3. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  4. Add garlic and mushrooms to the same skillet, cooking until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, then add spinach and let it wilt.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Notes

  1. Ensure the pan is hot enough when cooking the chicken to avoid steaming. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
