CHICKEN AND SPINACH IN CREAMY PAPRIKA SAUCE
Chicken and Spinach in Creamy Paprika Sauce is a hearty, but easy chicken recipe that the whole family will love! It’s amazing in flavor because of dry white wine and sauteed garlic. I also love the delicious paprika sauce! It is so creamy and buttery, with just a mild tang from the fresh lemon juice. You can make this chicken and spinach recipe on a weeknight right on your stove top!
I like to use thin chicken breasts in this easy chicken recipe. Or, if my chicken is too thick, I usually halve them horizontally. I love working with thin chicken fillets. And I made a number of thin chicken breasts recipes, such as this Low Carb Chicken. Try it too!
Ingredients
4 Chicken Breasts (boneless & skinless)
1 tsp Smoked Paprika (for seasoning chicken)
1/4 tsp Salt and Pepper (each for seasoning chicken)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Creamy Paprika Sauce:
1 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp flour (sifted)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth (sodium free)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (juice of squeezed lemon)
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp paprika
Instructions
Cooking Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika, rubbing it evenly over both sides.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet (I used cast iron skillet) over medium high heat and cook on the first side for about 3 minutes. Flip, and turn the heat down to medium and cook for another three minutes. Remove and set chicken aside on separate plate.
Making Creamy Sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the now empty skillet. Add garlic and cook stirring frequently about 2 minutes. Add flour using a sifter until well mixed. Add wine next and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow alcohol to evaporate.
Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream and lemon juice. Add salt and paprika. Mix well. Simmer for 2 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning (if necessary) at this point.
Spinach: Add in the spinach and cook for additional 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
Adding Chicken Back: Return the chicken to the skillet and cook covered for 2-3 minutes if your chicken breasts are thin; or for 5-7 minutes, if they are thick.
Serve immediately.
