  • Mix Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning together in a bowl. Coat chicken breasts in the mixture and arrange in an 8-inch square baking dish.

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic until tender, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour to form a paste, about 3 minutes. Add cream; cook and stir until paste is thickened, about 7 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach; cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.

  • Pour spinach mixture over chicken breasts in the baking dish; top with any remaining Parmesan cheese mixture.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This turned out quite tasty and is pretty easy to throw together with pantry/freezer staples. I'm keto so instead of using flour I whisked about 1/4 tsp of konjac powder into the heavy cream to thicken it. I ended up using a bit more cream than called for otherwise there didn't seem to be enough liquid for all the spinach. I would suggest seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper in the beginning (or adding it to the parmesan cheese) as the chicken itself was a little on the bland side. I also recommend using more Italian seasoning as I couldn't taste it. In my opinion cook no more than 30 mins. I set mine for 30 mins and the chicken was slightly overcooked - the chicken breasts were about 6oz each. Next time I will try 25 mins. I sprinkled with a bit of crushed red pepper for color. A great weekday recipe! Read More

Very tasty dish. I couldn't get the sauce to look like that though it ended up just being a crumbly paste almost. Still very good! Read More
