Ingredients
- 4 small to medium chicken breasts (or 2 large halved)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup light cream (or heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or oregano)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in cream and stir continuously. Add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese; mix until smooth. If using spinach, stir it in now.
- Return the crispy chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Let simmer for about 1 minute before serving hot with your preferred sides.
