Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• ⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Mix Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning together in a bowl. Coat chicken breasts in the mixture and arrange in an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 4

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic until tender, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour to form a paste, about 3 minutes. Add cream; cook and stir until paste is thickened, about 7 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach; cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Pour spinach mixture over chicken breasts in the baking dish; top with any remaining Parmesan cheese mixture.
