A rich and creamy chicken and spinach skillet recipe, perfect for a comforting one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  8. Add spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts into the sauce.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
  10. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, omit the red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
  • If you don’t have heavy cream, half-and-half can be used, but the sauce may be thinner.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
