Creamy Spinach Parmesan Chicken Skillet
This Creamy Spinach Parmesan Chicken Skillet is golden brown chicken breasts coated in a creamy parmesan, mushroom, and spinach sauce. An easy dinner option that’s quick enough to put together on a busy weeknight, yet elegant enough to serve to guests.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms sliced
- 4 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons GF flour
- 8 ounces baby spinach chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Rub the 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast on both sides with 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and Kosher salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches until golden brown and cooked through about 12-15 minutes per batch. Set aside.
- To the same skillet add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the 8 ounces brown mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the 4 garlic cloves and continue to cook for a minute longer.
- Meanwhile, in a large jug, whisk the 1 1/2 cups almond milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons GF flour until no visible lumps.
- Pour the almond mixture over the mushrooms and stir in the 8 ounces baby spinach and 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and the spinach is wilted.
- Return the chicken back to the pan and into the sauce and cook for a minute longer, just until hot.

Notes
- I recommend choosing chicken breasts that are approximately the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
- Since chicken breasts can vary in size, I recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken breast is fully cooked; the temperature should read 165 degrees F.
- I like to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, as it has more flavor and melts smoothly.
- Want to add a garnish before serving? Plate your creamy chicken skillet with fresh herbs. Parsley, chives, basil, or thyme are all great options.
