Chicken with Chipotle Cream Sauce

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet. Cook until it is no longer pink in the center, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate or bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Return the pan to the stovetop and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Add the chipotle peppers and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream and increase the heat to bring to a boil. Lower until the cream comes to a simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 5

Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Step 6

Stir the chicken back in and cook 1-2 minutes to re-warm.

Step 7

Add the spinach and cook until wilted and combined well with the sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped, fresh cilantro, if desired.
