2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 (12 oz) jar artichoke hearts in water, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth

1

Pound chicken to an even thickness and slice each breast in half lengthwise to form two thin filets. Season with salt and pepper and toss in flour to coat, shaking off any excess.

2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken on both sides until cooked through and golden brown, 5-8 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside.

3

Add butter to skillet. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

4

Add chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in cream cheese and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and melted. Add cream and whisk once more.

5

Stir in parmesan, red pepper flake, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Stir in spinach a handful at a time until wilted, then add artichoke hearts.

7

Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top until chicken has warmed. Enjoy!
