Notes

For a juicier option, consider swapping chicken breasts for thighs. Use half-and-half or coconut milk as a lighter alternative to heavy cream. Fresh spinach provides the best texture, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; add a splash of cream when reheating to revive the sauce. Enjoy with garlic bread or a light salad for a full meal that feels indulgent yet healthy!
