You won’t believe how simple and quick it is to prepare this skillet-based Creamy Mediterranean Chicken Dinner. It tastes so good. Everyone will love the flavours of this weeknight-perfect dish, and you’ll be fighting over the remaining sauce!

Ingredients:

  1. One pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast (cut into cutlets)
  2. Add pepper and salt.
  3. Two tablespoons of butter
  4. One sliced onion
  5. 4 minced garlic cloves
  6. 12 ounces of coarsely chopped roasted red peppers
  7. 1 and a half cups split chicken stock
  8. 4 ounces of cream cheese
  9. Two cups of newly picked baby spinach
  10. two cups of recently prepared pasta

 

Directions

Cook the chicken

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter.
  • Season the chicken and cook at medium high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm.

Make the sauce

  • In the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock.
  • Whisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce

 

Add the spinach, and the cooked chicken back in

  • Add the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted.
  • Add the chicken and any juices back into the pan and allow to warm through.

Serve

  • Plate the pasta, add chicken and spoon a good helping of the sauce over the top.
  • Devour.
