Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
2 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts; season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter until bubbly, then sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth and scrape any bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer before stirring in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Add spinach (if using) until wilted—about 2 minutes—and return the chicken to the pan, coating it in the sauce until heated through.
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs before serving alongside pasta or rice.
