Yield 4 servings
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 thin sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ cups chopped fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. 
  3. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken has cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and, once melted, stir in the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until onions are soft.
  6. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. 
  7. Add the heavy cream and dijon mustard to the skillet and whisk well. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until cream sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Add the spinach to the pan, stir, and cook for 3 minutes or until spinach has wilted.
  9. Return the chicken to the pan and coat in the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

We like to serve this dish with cauliflower rice to soak up any extra sauce.

If the sauce thickens up more than you'd like, just whisk in some additional cream to thin it back out. To thicken more, just continue cooking longer.
