Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, cream cheese, and chicken broth. Stir continually until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.

Step 6

Add baby spinach to the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your Keto Chicken in Creamy Sauce as is, or alongside a side of your choice.
