Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small to medium chicken breasts (or 2 large halved)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup light cream or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and lower the heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in cream and mix continuously to prevent lumps. Add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese; mix until smooth. If using spinach, stir it in now.
