Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (divided, plus more for serving)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 chicken breast cutlets
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 teaspoon grated (or finely minced) garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 ounces baby spinach
Instructions
- Prep the chicken – Combine 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, flour, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper in a wide bowl or plate. Coat the chicken pieces with the mixture.
- Brown the chicken – Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Cook the shallots and garlic – Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Add the shallot, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until the shallot and garlic are softened and aromatic.
- Prepare the sauce – Add the wine to the pan and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits. Add the chicken stock, basil, and oregano and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes or until reduced by about half. Add the cream and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and cook for 4 to 5 minutes longer.
- Finish the dish – Add the spinach to the pan; stir and cook for 1 minute or until wilted. Add the chicken breasts back to the pan and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are cooked through.
