Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt & freshly ground black pepper
all-purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons shallots, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 (10 ounce) packages cut-leaf frozen spinach, thawed, drained

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley.
  • Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the spinach and saute until heated through.
  • Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the spinach over a platter.
  • Place the chicken atop the spinach.
  • Pour the sauce over and serve.
