Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Meat

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (about 1½ pounds)

Liquids

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon chicken flavor “Better Than Bouillon” (or 1 chicken bouillon cube)

Vegetables

  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach (loosely packed)

Dairy

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

Optional

  • cooked pasta (for serving)
  • crust bread (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Dip each chicken cutlet into the flour, turning to coat. Gently shake off any excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the wine then increase the heat to medium high. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the heavy cream, chicken stock, bouillon, Italian seasoning, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon of the salt until combined.
  • Stir in the spinach and Parmesan cheese, then return the chicken to the skillet and turn to coat. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3-5 minutes.
  • Divide chicken and sauce between plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve over cooked pasta, with bread on the side, if using.
