- 10 oz Cremini mushrooms (1 package) sliced
- Creamy Parmesan Sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp Wheat flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Cup Spinach
Instructions
- Halve your chicken breasts laterally and season them with salt and pepper liberally, set aside and place your stainless steel skillet onto a medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil to the hot pan and allow them to melt/come up to heat.
- Once heated through and the oils are shimmering and moving around the skillet freely, add your chicken breasts and allow them to sit.
- Cook your chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side undisturbed or until a golden brown crust has formed on each side. Remove browned chicken breasts from the heat and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms to the hot pan with another tablespoon of oil and butter and use any juices secreted from them to partially deglaze the skillet.
- Saute for up to 5 minutes or until the mushrooms have a light brown color to them. Remove from the heat and set aside with the chicken breasts.
- Moving onto the sauce, add your remaining butter to the skillet alongside your garlic. Lightly cook your garlic making sure not to burn it.
- Once the garlic has picked up a little bit of color and is fragrant add your flour to the skillet and stir vigorously to make a roux. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to properly deglaze now.
- Once the roux is a lovely golden brown, slowly stream in your chicken broth and heavy cream.
- Bring to a simmer and add the parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your liking and then add the spinach to the top of the sauce and allow it to wilt.
- Add the mushrooms and chicken to the sauce and allow them to heat through and incorporate for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately with whichever carbohydrates you want.
