Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are soft.
Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot with your choice of side.

Notes

Use baby spinach for quicker wilting and a milder flavor.
You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter version.
Add sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
