Ingredient List
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ Vegetable Classics tomato basil soup
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups baby spinach, lightly packed
- Shredded Parmesan cheese, as desired
- Chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, as desired
Preparation
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to plate.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; heat over medium heat. Add onions; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; continue to cook another minute. Stir in tomato soup; heat to boiling. Cook uncovered 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add browned chicken; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, 15 to 18 minutes, turning chicken over after 8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (at least 165°F). Stir in cream and spinach. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes, until spinach is wilted.
- Divide among serving plates; garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Tips
- No fresh spinach in the house? You can substitute 1/2 cup of frozen spinach, cooked and drained, for the fresh baby spinach in this recipe.
- If desired, you can serve this dish over cooked rice or pasta. Crusty bread would also make a lovely accompaniment.
