Ingredients

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

1 clove garlic

crushed

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

½ cup heavy cream

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach

thawed and drained

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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).
