Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons shallots, sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed and drained
Directions
Step 1 -Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and the pepper.
Step 2 -In a shallow bowl, dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess flour.
Step 3 -In a heavy, large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 4 -Add the chicken to the melted butter and cook until brown and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 5 -Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Step 6 -In the same skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 7 -Add the shallots and garlic to the butter and sauté until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute.
Step 8 -Add the wine to the shallot mixture.
Step 9 -Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Step 10 -Add the cream to the mixture and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes.
Step 11 -Stir the parsley into the sauce.
Step 12 -Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
Step 13 -In another large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
Step 14 -Add the spinach to the butter mixture and sauté until heated through.
Step 15 -Season the spinach with the salt and the pepper to taste.
Step 16 -Arrange the cooked spinach over a serving platter.
Step 17 -Place the chicken on top of the spinach and pour the sauce over it.
Step 18 -Serve.
