A tasty and filling recipe that’s ideal for a casual evening is chicken with spinach and mushrooms in creamy parmesan sauce. Here is a basic recipe that you can use:

Components:

Four skinless and boneless chicken breasts

Two teaspoons of cooking olive oil

One cup of freshly chopped spinach

One cup of sliced white or cremini mushrooms

Two minced garlic cloves

One cup of heavy cream

Half a cup of white wine or chicken broth

Half a cup of Parmesan cheese, grated

One teaspoon of optional Italian seasoning

One spoonful of butter

Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions:

Get the chicken ready:

Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. After taking the chicken out of the skillet, place it aside.

Cook the garlic for an additional minute until it becomes aromatic.

Cook the spinach for about two minutes, or until it wilts.

Prepare the creamy sauce by:

To release any delicious pieces, scrape the bottom of the skillet after adding the chicken broth (or white wine).

Bring to a simmer after adding the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to slightly thicken by cooking it for two to three minutes.

Stir until the sauce is smooth after adding the Parmesan cheese. If using, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Mix the sauce with the chicken:

Spoon some of the creamy sauce over the chicken breasts and return them to the skillet. To let the flavors combine, let everything boil together for five to seven minutes.

Serve:

Spoon the creamy spinach and mushroom sauce over the chicken on a plate.

Add some freshly cut parsley as a garnish.
