Posted byLyttle LeavesPosted inUncategorized

Ingredients – Serves 4

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups ‘Lyttle Leaves’ spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium – high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.
  3. Stir in the Lyttle Leaves spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. Pour in the cream, and chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving – with your favourite pasta, or creamy mash!
