Description
A delicious creamy chicken dish that’s low-carb and perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sauté: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Create the sauce: In the same skillet, add the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Then, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir well until the sauce thickens and is creamy.
- Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes so the chicken absorbs those beautiful flavors.
- Serve: Garnish your dish with fresh basil before serving it over low-carb pasta, zoodles, or simply alongside a fresh green salad.
Notes
Do not overcook the chicken to maintain its juiciness. Customize your greens and add spice if desired.
