# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - Salt to taste
03 - Black pepper to taste

→ Sauce

04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 - 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
07 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
08 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
09 - 1 cup heavy cream
10 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
12 - 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
13 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
03 - Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and browned.
04 - Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 - Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
06 - Stir in heavy cream, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes allowing flavors to meld.
07 - Add fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted, stirring frequently.
08 - Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
09 - Return cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to heat through.
10 - Serve the chicken and sauce warm, ideally accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Allow cooked chicken to rest in the sauce to absorb maximum flavor before serving.
