Serves: 6 Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • FOR THE GARLIC PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth, or more, as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 cup half and half*
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.

2

Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste.

3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.

4

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Stir in spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes; set aside.

5

To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

6

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

7

Place chicken in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Top with potatoes, spinach and cream sauce.

8

Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.

9

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
