Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 lb)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cups fresh spinach

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Preparation Steps:

Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Add fresh spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
