Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl, then dredge each chicken breast, turning to coat evenly and shaking off excess flour.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook 5–6 minutes per side over medium-high heat until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
- 3Add the butter to the same skillet over medium heat and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds over medium heat until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- 4Pour in the white wine and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook 3–4 minutes until the liquid reduces by half, stirring occasionally.
- 5Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, Italian seasoning, and salt until combined. Simmer 1–2 minutes over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 6Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan until the spinach wilts, about 1–2 minutes over medium-low heat. Return the chicken to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce.
- 7Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook 3–5 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
- 8Divide the chicken and sauce evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
