Ingredients :

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
