Ingredients

  • cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • cup champagne
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened and cubed
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz. linguine cooked

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, pepper until smooth, then dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until well coated
  • In a large skillet over medium high, heat the butter and oil until bubbling, then sear the chicken breasts on both sides. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through
  • Meanwhile, in the same skillet over medium heat, add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until browned
  • Add the champagne and deglaze and bit that have stuck to the pan, allow to cook for 1-2 minutes
  • Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and cream cheese and mix until smooth, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes
  • Add the spinach and stir until wilted
  • Place the cooked chicken back in the pan and cover with sauce
  • Serve hot over freshly cooked linguine noodles

Notes

  • Don't have linguine? Use another thick noodle like fettucine, penne, or even ziti.
  • If you prefer, you could serve this over creamy mashed potatoes instead of pasta.
  • Not sure if the chicken is done? Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when it reads 165.
