Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Sauce (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Chicken

01 - 4 small-medium chicken breasts (or 2 large, halved)

02 - Salt and pepper to taste

03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

04 - 3-4 cloves garlic, minced

05 - 1 cup light cream or heavy cream

06 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or oregano

07 - ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

08 - 1 cup spinach, chopped (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

02 - Lower heat and add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in cream, stirring continuously. Add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth. Stir in chopped spinach (if using) and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

03 - Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Serve hot with pasta, roasted veggies, or mashed potatoes.

# Notes:

01 - For extra crispiness, coat chicken in a mix of parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.

02 - For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.

03 - Use fresh parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
