1tablespoon grape seed oil (or your favourite cooking oil)
salt and pepper
For the Creamy Spinach Sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 lb fresh spinach
250gcream cheese(1 brick or about 8oz)
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes on each side to brown. Transfer to the baking dish and cook in the oven until the chicken is cooked through (approx. 10 minutes although time will depend on thickness of your chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature).
Roughly chop the spinach and blanch it in boiling water for about 1 minute. Remove and place in an ice bath. Place it in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the excess water.
In a large bowl, add the creamy spinach ingredients except the chicken broth.
Wipe down skillet. Heat the chicken broth in a skillet and add the spinach ingredients to it. Cook, stirring until the cheese has melted.
Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for a few minutes. Serve, spooning sauce over each chicken breast.
