Ingredients
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.3 lb.)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 cups spinach
Instructions
Prepare the seasoning mix:
In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Prepare the chicken:
Carefully fillet each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets. Season both sides of the chicken with the seasoning mix.
Cook the chicken:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
Make the sauce:
In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Turn the heat down to medium-low and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add liquids and seasonings:
Pour in the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Add cream and cheese:
Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Add spinach:
Stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt in the sauce.
Finish the dish:
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the Dijon sauce over the top. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish and enjoy!
