Step 1

Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, press into the flour to coat on both sides, before shaking off any excess flour.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side, before setting aside.

Step 3

Add the shallot and cook until just tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about a minute.

Step 5

Add the wine, and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan as it sizzles.

Step 6

Add the broth, cream, and italian seasoning, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat, wait a few minutes, add the spinach and parmesan, mix, and let the spinach wilt and the cheese melt into the sauce.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste, add the chicken and enjoy!
