Instructions
-
Cook the chicken
Season the chicken breasts. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and pan-fry the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. -
Start the sauce
Add the garlic to the same pan and cook briefly until fragrant. Pour in the chicken stock, add the Italian herbs and simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced. -
Make it creamy
Lower the heat and stir in the double cream and grated Parmesan until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. -
Finish the dish
Return the chicken to the pan and add the spinach. Simmer gently until the spinach has wilted and the chicken is piping hot. -
Serve
Spoon the creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce over the chicken and serve with rice, pasta or crusty bread.
Note
Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer after adding the cream and Parmesan to prevent it from splitting. If the sauce becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of chicken stock.
