Before You Start
Pat the chicken dry and slice it thin, slice the zucchini into ribbons, slice the mushrooms, rinse the spinach, and grate the parmesan.
How To Make It
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, about 1 minute, until it foams.
- Add the sliced chicken and cook, turning, 6 to 8 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F in the center, then set it aside.
- Add the mushroom and cook, 5 to 6 minutes, until browned and their liquid cooks off.
- Addand zucchini ribbons and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the spinach and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the parmesan, 2 to 3 minutes, until it makes a smooth, glossy sauce.
- Return the chicken, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and serve warm.
Fix It: If the sauce looks grainy, lower the heat and stir in a splash of cream; high heat is what makes it split.
