Creamy Garlic Skillet Chicken with Spinach recipe
If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner, this Creamy Garlic Skillet Chicken with Spinach is a perfect choice. Inspired by classic Italian flavors, this dish comes together fairly quickly, making it fit for a wonderful weeknight meal.
The tender chicken cutlets are seared to perfection and then bathed in a luscious creamy garlic sauce that’s brightened with fresh spinach. In this version, the addition of white wine adds a bright acidity to the rich cream sauce. If you prefer not to use white wine, feel free to swap it out for an equal amount of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth. A little splash of white wine vinegar or lemon juice—about ½ tablespoon—will add a delightful balance to your dish. Serve it over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up every bit of that flavorful sauce as well as a crisp green salad to balance out the richness of the sauce. Or, try it over rice, mashed potatoes, or polenta. It’s a meal that feels indulgent yet is simple enough for any home cook to master.
