Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over 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.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.
5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
