Creamy Chicken Breast with Spinach & Walnut Sauce
"Indulge in a sophisticated harmony of velvety cream, earthy walnuts, and tender chicken that brings five-star elegance to your weeknight table."
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper. Heat a pan over low to medium heat with a little olive oil, add the sliced onions, and lay the chicken on top. Cook gently, turning once, until the chicken is fully cooked through, tender, and lightly golden. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté slowly until soft and translucent, avoiding browning for a smooth sauce base.
Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until completely wilted and excess moisture has evaporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, stirring gently to release their natural oils and deepen the flavor of the sauce.
Add a small splash of chicken broth to loosen the mixture. Cover and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the cream. Mix until smooth and creamy, then remove from heat.
Serve the warm chicken breasts generously topped with the spinach and walnut sauce. Finish with a light squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
