Chicken

1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup all purpose flour for dredging
2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Heavy Cream/full fat milk

1 cup baby spinach, packed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup baby bella mushrooms, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts in half to create 4 thin cutlets. Rub the chicken on both sides with the salt, pepper, chilli powder and garlic powder. Shallow fry on skillet after marination.
Sauce
Add the garlic and chicken broth to the pan and use a wooden spatula to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the pan, allow the broth to come to a simmer.
Add in Heavy Cream/milk, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, corn flour and some grated cheese. Stir frequently until the cheese has melted. Bring the creamy mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.
Add in the vegetables and continue to stir until sauce begins to thicken and the spinach begins to wilt. Add the chicken back into the pan and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve by itself with a salad or with pasta*, garnish with parsley.
NOTES
If serving with pasta, I recommend doubling the sauce recipe.
