Savory Garlic Mushroom Chicken with Spinach

May be an image of pasta

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake), sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup light cream (or half 'n' half)
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

Season the Chicken:* Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Sear the Chicken:* Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms:* In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add Garlic and Chicken Broth:* Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Return the Chicken:* Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the mushroom and garlic sauce over the top of each breast.

Add Cream and Spinach:* Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the light cream. Stir to combine, then add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve:* Serve the chicken breasts topped with the savory mushroom and spinach sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and dried thyme, if desired.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressi...
