Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, allowing it to melt completely, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits, bringing more flavor to the sauce. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it is fully melted and integrated into the sauce.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Follow with the grated Parmesan cheese, and let the mixture simmer on low heat for a few minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

Season the sauce with dried Italian herbs, adjusting salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and allow it to wilt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, covering them with the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors and ensure the chicken is heated through.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving if desired. Serve immediately, enjoying this flavorful Keto Creamy Chicken dish.
