1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breast pieces with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2
Sauté the Chicken
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3
Make the Lemon Cream Sauce
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the fresh spinach. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Serve warm.
