Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 c. baby spinach

Add chicken broth, cream, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and season with more salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add lemon slices and bring to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes more.
