2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 Chicken Breasts (boneless & skinless)
¼ tsp Salt and Pepper (each for seasoning chicken)
1 tsp Smoked Paprika (for seasoning chicken)
Creamy Paprika Sauce:
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp flour (sifted)
½ c. dry white wine
2 c. fresh spinach
½ c. heavy cream
½ c. chicken broth (sodium-free)
1 tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (juice of squeezed lemon)
How to make Chicken and Spinach in Creamy Paprika Sauce
Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, and salt. Evenly rub the seasonings on all sides of the chicken.
Step 2: In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet once the butter has melted and cook the first side for approximately 3 minutes. Turn the chicken on the other side and continue to cook for additional 3 minutes over medium heat. Transfer the chicken to another plate when done.
Step 3: To make the creamy sauce, melt a tbsp butter in the same skillet. Then, add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often. Using a sifter, add the flour until blended. Pour in the wine and continue to cook for another minute or two.
Step 4: Now, add the chicken broth to the skillet along with the heavy cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and paprika. Stir well and let everything simmer for about 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
Step 5: To the skillet, add the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Step 6: Place the chicken back to the skillet. Put the lid on and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes more (if using thin chicken breasts) or 5 to 7 minutes (for thick chicken breasts).
Step 7: Remove from the heat when done and serve the Chicken and Spinach in Creamy Paprika Sauce right away. Enjoy!
