Parmesan Chicken With Spinach And Mushroom Food

CHICKEN AND SPINACH IN CREAMY PARMESAN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Chicken and mushrooms: In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat it over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned. Season chicken with salt and pepper right inside the pan. Remove it onto a plate and add the sliced mushrooms in. Add in salt. In about 5 more minutes, your mushrooms should look nice and moist, and dark. Once cooked, remove them from the pan. I put them on the same plate as the cooked chicken strips.
• Sauce: To make the sauce, add butter to the pan, allow it to melt and then cook garlic in it until slightly browned - only for a couple of minutes. Add 1 tablespoon flour (omit flour if you like your sauce to be a little more runny). Slowly add chicken broth, half-and-half and Parmesan cheese. All these will blend in very quickly.
• Add salt slowly and taste the sauce to make sure the salt level is to your liking.
• Spinach: Add spinach to the sauce and allow it to wilt. I added 1 cup of spinach, but you can certainly add more or less depending on your preference.
• Putting it all together: Add the chicken and mushrooms back into the pan and mix in well. Serve warm and garnish it with parsley, if desired.
• Eat as is, or serve along pasta or rice.
