• Pinch xanthan gum (if needed to thicken)

Preparation

Step 1

This recipe takes a mere 20-30 minutes to pull together. It’s amazingly tasty and worth every one of those minutes. So attractive on the platter, too! And better yet, it’s Induction friendly! The creamy spinach-mushroom topping compliments the seared chicken so nicely! If in Atkins OWL Phase 2, adding 2 T. white wine to the spinach mixture is very, very good! :)

DIRECTIONS:

If using frozen spinach, cook in water as directed on package in a saucepan and drain well. Set aside. Now slice each chicken breast diagonally into 3-4 thinner slices to speed up cooking. Melt butter in non-stick skillet and saute the chicken slices or “filets”, as I call them, until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked (medium-high heat). This won’t take long at all, which is precisely why I like to slice them. Remove chicken to serving platter. Add mushrooms to the same skillet and saute until done. Add fresh spinach and garlic. Saute until spinach is wilted. Lower heat and add cream, broth and cheese to spinach/mushroom mixture in skillet. Add pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly dust with xanthan gum 2-3 times, stirring between each addition to slightly thicken sauce. Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley if
