Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup baby spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, making sure not to burn it. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the sauce. Add baby spinach and Parmesan cheese, stirring gently until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into the sauce. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Finish: Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve the chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed rice to make the most of the rich, flavorful sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an added touch of color.
Storage: This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply place the leftovers in an airtight container. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or chicken broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
