Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook 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, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 7
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Turn the chicken to coat it in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Step 9
If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat.
Step 10
Serve the keto creamy chicken with spinach hot, spooning the sauce over the top of the chicken.
