Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach

Directions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
