Creamy Lemon Chicken Skillet

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the flour, ⅓ cup parmesan and lemon zest.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken in the mixture on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side to sear and then place chicken on a plate covered with foil to rest.

Step 4

Add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Toss in the spinach, tomatoes, lemon juice and white wine to cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tomatoes are warmed through.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock, cream, leftover parmesan, lemon rounds, salt and pepper and cook for another 3 minutes on simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the pan and cook for another 6-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 7

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh sliced basil and serve immediately.
