Creating Creamy Chicken With Spinach And Peppers is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add the Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
6. Incorporate the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken with the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken mixture onto plates or into bowls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
