How to Make Parmesan Garlic Mushroom Chicken

Cooking the chicken till it’s done and tender, but not overcooked and dry, is the goal here. Remember that chicken will continue to cook a bit after it’s removed from the pan. So you can remove the chicken right before it’s done and it will be juicy and tender.

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: To make the sauce add the butter and melt. Add garlic and cook until tender. Whisk in the flour until it thickens. Whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Add the spinach and let simmer until it starts to thicken and spinach wilts. Add the chicken and mushrooms back to the sauce and serve over pasta is desired.
