HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.

02

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

03

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

04

Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

05

Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add chicken broth until your desired consistency is reached.

06

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts completely, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

07

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh basil if desired. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

COOKING TIP

Make it better

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Ensure your skillet is large enough to accommodate all ingredients comfortably.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Easy swaps

Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a richer flavor; adjust cooking time as needed. If you don't have fresh spinach, 10 ounces of frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) can be used. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut cream and a plant-based Parmesan alternative.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much during storage.
