Creamy Chicken with Spinach

Ingredients

• •4 chicken breasts (about 1.25 lbs)
• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 cup heavy cream
• •1 cup chicken broth
• •2 cups fresh spinach
• •1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •1 cup uncooked white rice
• •2 cups water or broth for rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add dried herbs and bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to low and return the chicken to the skillet, adding the fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   During the last 10 minutes of cooking, prepare the rice. In a pot, combine the rice and water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

7. 7

   Serve the creamy chicken over a bed of rice, spooning extra sauce over the top.
