Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons ghee (or butter)
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 6 ounces fresh spinach
- 6 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt/pepper/paprika (to taste)
Instructions
- If chicken breasts are thick, slice them in the middle for even cooking.
- Heat ghee in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes until they start browning.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika, then flip and repeat. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and keep warm on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are soft.
- Add spinach and stir until it wilts down, reducing its volume by 3-4 fold.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, mix well, and add parmesan cheese once it starts to simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turn heat on low, and let simmer for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
To ensure juiciness, let the chicken rest before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
