ہدایات
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it has thickened slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy spinach sauce over each breast. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
