How To Make one-pan creamy spinach chicken
-
Step 1Cut breasts in half, and pound thicker pieces to a half-inch thickness. Dust the chicken with paprika, and brown in oil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side, until done (do not overcook.) Remove from the pan, and set aside.
-
Step 2Add butter to the pan, and saute the onions and mushrooms until tender; add the garlic, tomatoes, and basil in the final minute.
-
Step 3Stir the cornstarch into the chicken broth, and add to the pan along with the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Increase heat and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top.
-
Step 4Serve as is, or over egg noodles.
