Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
1. Slice Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sear Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté Vegetables
1. Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
2. Add Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Step 4: Combine and Finish
1. Return Chicken to Skillet: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
2. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream (if using). Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
3. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until melted and well combined.
Step 5: Serve
1. Plate and Enjoy: Serve the Chicken Spinach and Mushroom hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
