O- to the M-G, y’all…
It’s official. I am the mother of a teenager. I don’t know whether to eeeekkk or ahhhhhh! ;) Molli turned 13 on the 2nd of this month. It makes me feel pretty old, ya know? My oldest is now a teenager- a teenager who tore up one of these chicken breasts in it’s amazing lemon butter parmesan garlic cream sauce, yo.
Chicken is always such a versatile meat. I swear you can do anything with it. In this recipe, you sauté the chicken, make the sauce (careful! don’t eat it all before it’s served), wilt the spinach, place chicken in the sauce and serve.
This sauce is nothing short of something that will captivate all of your tastebuds. We’re talkin’ a sauce made of the browned chicken bits, butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. It’s all combined to make this glorious sauce to slather all over your chicken. #winning
