Description
A quick and comforting skillet dish featuring chicken, mushrooms, and spinach in a creamy sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless (Use thin cut or pounded for quicker cooking.)
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (Button mushrooms or others like cremini can be used.)
- 2 cups spinach, fresh (Substitute with baby kale or Swiss chard if desired.)
- 1 cup heavy cream (Half and half can be used but will result in a thinner sauce.)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Freshly grated is recommended for better texture.)
