Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (680g)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (240ml)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (50g)
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted, then add fresh spinach until wilted.
Return the chicken to the skillet or transfer everything into your baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Serve with additional sauce drizzled over the top.
