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.
To make the Creamy Garlic Skillet Chicken with Spinach, you will need the following ingredients:
Sprinkle the chicken cutlets with ¼ teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chicken cutlets and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add 3 grated garlic cloves to the same skillet and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add ½ cup dry white wine. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
Return the heat to medium and stir in 4 cups coarsely chopped spinach, ½ cup heavy cream and the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and turn to coat with the sauce.
Serve immediately!
