Step 1

Remove chicken from fridge 1-2 hours before cooking so it comes to room temperature.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in large skillet over high heat. Season both sides of chicken with garlic salt, pepper and paprika.

Step 3

Place chicken in hot oil. Cook 4-5 minutes on both sides if boneless. Cook 10 minutes on both sides if bone in. Check internal temperature with meat thermometer to make sure it is cooked through.

Step 4

After both sides of chicken is cooked, turn one more time and sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Cover to allow cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken to separate pan or plate and cover so it stays warm and continues cooking.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with the drippings and cook for a few minutes until tender.

Step 6

When mushrooms are cooked, add the butter to the pan and melt. Add garlic and cook until tender, being careful not to let it burn. Whisk in the flour until it thickens.

Step 7

Whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pepper and salt.

Step 8

Add the spinach and let simmer until it starts to thicken and spinach wilts (about 5 minutes).

Step 9

Check chicken to make sure it is fully cooked. Serve chicken with the sauce.
