Description
A warm, comforting, low-carb dish perfect for fall – creamy chicken with spinach and mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender. Then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Make the cream sauce: Pour in heavy cream and add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and thickened.
- Combine ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the cream sauce, simmering on low heat for a few minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm, pairing with a side salad or keto-friendly vegetables.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, add more Parmesan or simmer longer. Substitute chicken thighs for juicier meat. For a vegetarian option, use zucchini and bell peppers instead of chicken.
