Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness and pat dry. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan; dredge the chicken.

  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and keep warm.

  3. Lower the heat. Add the wine and scrape up the browned bits; reduce by half, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic during the last minute.

  4. Stir in the half-and-half and bring to a gentle bubble. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth, then add the spinach until wilted.

  5. Return the chicken and any drippings to the pan, cover, and heat through. Serve with parsley.
