Cremiges Knoblauchhähnchen aus der Pfanne

Zutaten

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup spinach, fresh
• Chopped parsley for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. 3

   Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken.

4. 4

   Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

5. 5

   Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Allow it to heat through for another 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad.
