Prepare the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Garlic and Spinach
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Make the Creamy Sauce
Add the cream cheese to the skillet with the spinach and garlic. Stir until melted and combined. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring until you achieve a creamy consistency. Add the Parmesan cheese and mix well.
