Provided by á-26577

Number Of Ingredients 21

CREAMED SPINACH:
1 large bag of spinach leaves
1/2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons red onion, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
SAUTEED MUSHROOMS:
8 ounce package mushrooms, sliced
1/2 stick butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
CHICKEN:
4 to 5 boneless chicken breasts
8 to 10 slices Mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/8 inch slices
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon seasoned salt, like Lawry's
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Bake for 16 minutes. Meanwhile, make the creamed spinach. Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add in the onions and saute 2-3 minutes. Add in the spinach and garlic. It will shrink ridiculously. When it's cooked through, stir in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Continue cooking and stirring until the cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat. For the mushrooms, melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Put the mushrooms in and cook until browned all over. Don't season with salt until they are browned or they will never brown. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Add in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the wine is cooked out. Flip the chicken pieces over. Divide the spinach and mushrooms over the top of each breast. Lay two slices of cheese over each piece of chicken. Cook another 12-14 minutes or until cheese is browned and chicken is done.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 200˚ F. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put 1 cup flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in shallow bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil. Coat 2 chicken breasts in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs. Carefully add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (reduce the heat slightly if the chicken is browning too quickly). Remove the chicken to the hot pan in the oven. Repeat with the remaining 2 chicken breasts.
  • Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet. Add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour; cook, whisking, until the mixture is bubbling but not browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and Parmesan and cook until heated through and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Serve over the chicken.
