• 1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. 2.Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. 3.Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside. 4.Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Stir in spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes; set aside. 5.To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. 6.Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

Top with potatoes, spinach and cream sauce. 8.Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. 9.Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and leave the potatoes alone for about 4 minutes, until the underside is browned. Flip the potatoes and let side for another 4 minutes, until the second underside is browned. Flip once more so that another uncooked side of the potatoes brown, another 4 minutes; the other sides of the potato cubes will not be browned, which is ok. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon or tongs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the same skillet over medium high heat. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture. Once the oil is hot, cook the cutlets in the pan for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown, and but not cooked through (still pink in the center). Transfer the cutlets to a large plate when they are browned.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, until the onions are slightly tender and golden. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute, until you can smell the garlic. Add the chicken broth, bring to a simmer and stir so that any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan are released into the liquid. Stir in the spinach, then add the cream, and Parmesan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Add the potatoes back to the pan and tuck the chicken back into the pan, with any juices that may have collected on the plate, making sure the chicken is at least mostly covered by the sauce. Cook for about 6 to 8 more minutes until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through.
• Sprinkle with the parsley, and serve hot in shallow bowls with the extra Parmesan passed on the side.

BAKED CHICKEN IN PARMESAN AND ROASTED GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Squeeze roasted garlic from the papery peels and mash well.
• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet then brown chicken thighs thoroughly over medium-high heat. Work in batches removing each batch to a 13X9 pan in the oven as they finish.
• Reduce heat to medium. Deglaze pan with sherry.
• Add chicken stock (see note), thyme, and the roasted garlic. Simmer 2 minutes.
• Add milk. Add cream cheese in small blobs.
• Bring to simmer, whisking in the cream cheese until smooth.
• Add salt (if using), pepper, and parsley. Whisk in Parmesan until melted.
• Pour sauce over chicken pieces and return to oven for about 1/2 hour or until chicken thighs are thoroughly cooked.
• Remove chicken to a serving platter. Toss sauce with noodles.
• Serve with a green vegetable (I recommend broccoli or an Italian vegetable mix), or a salad.
• Note: If you don't have homemade chicken stock please use a quality soup base (I like Tones), rather than bullion, which is apt to be too salty when combined with the Parmesan.
• Note: If you want a thicker sauce reduce the chicken stock to 1/2 cup.

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC & PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Coat garlic gloves with olive oil and wrap tightly in foil, roast in a 450 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until soft.
• Remove from foil and mash well.
• Brown chicken breasts in olive oil, not cooking the chicken through at this point but adding color. Remove when finished and set into a casserole dish.
• Deglaze the sauce pan with the white wine and let boil. Add chicken stock, parsley and roasted garlic. Allow to simmer.
• Add milk and cream cheese, stirring until it is incorporated, and then add the parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth.
• Add black pepper to taste and salt if needed. (the broth and cheese are salty so you probably won't need any).
• Pour over the chicken and bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 25-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve sauce over mashed potatoes or pasta. If it is too thin, return to a saucepan and mix together one tablespoon water and one tablespoon of corn starch and whisk into sauce when simmering.
