Chicken and Mushroom Skillet with Spinach
A creamy chicken, mushroom, and spinach skillet that’s quick, flavorful, and healthy—perfect for a busy weeknight!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it longer to reduce.
- You can make the sauce lighter by using half-and-half instead of cream.
