Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Roasted Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Creamy Spinach Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F, or 220°C.
Place the halved baby potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden, tender, and slightly crisp around the edges.
While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the butter for the sauce over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. The smell will be rich, warm, and delicious.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts down.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir gently, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until it becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
Place the chicken back into the skillet. Spoon the creamy spinach sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Slice the chicken if desired, then serve it warm with the roasted potatoes. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and finish with fresh parsley.
Presentation
For a beautiful plate, place the sliced chicken in the center and spoon the creamy spinach sauce generously over the top. Arrange the roasted potatoes on the side so their golden edges stand out.
A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds color and freshness, while a little extra Parmesan on top makes the dish look even more inviting. You can also serve it in the skillet for a rustic, cozy family-style presentation.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, steamed vegetables, or warm bread to soak up the creamy garlic sauce.
