How to Make Chicken And Spinach

  1. Season 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

  4. Flip chicken and continue to simmer for 2 more minutes.
  5. Add 5 oz fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Serve the chicken and creamy spinach sauce over your favorite pasta or rice.
