### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Chicken Breast in Spinach Parmesan Sauce

#### 1. **Prepare the Chicken**

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

#### 2. **Make the Sauce**

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sautĂŠ for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

#### 3. **Add Cream and Cheese**

Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Add Italian seasoning if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

#### 4. **Combine Chicken and Sauce**

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy spinach Parmesan sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
