3 FEB 2017

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

- 2 Tablespoons Olive oil

- Salt Pepper

- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

- Creamy Parmesan Garlic Sauce:

- ¼ cup butter

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tablespoon flour

- ½ cup chicken broth

- 1 cup heavy cream or half and half

- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¼ teaspoon pepper

- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 cup spinach, chopped

In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in centre. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
To make the sauce melt butter, add garlic and cook until tender. Whisk in the flour until it thickens. Whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Add the spinach and let simmer until it starts to thicken and spinach wilts. Add the chicken and mushrooms back to the sauce and serve over pasta.
