This creamy chicken with prosciutto and spinach dish is a decadent and flavorful recipe that is perfect for a special dinner or a cozy night in. The tender chicken is wrapped in savory prosciutto and smothered in a creamy spinach sauce that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add spinach and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and serve hot.
  6. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
