Preparation
  1. Place the sliced chicken breasts in a bowl and season them with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until they are evenly coated.

  3. In the same pan, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Sauce Preparation
  1. Add butter to the pan and let it melt; then cook the crushed garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add flour and mix until it's incorporated. Slowly pour in chicken broth while mixing to avoid lumps, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, cooking until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the spinach and sautéed mushrooms to the sauce and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
Final Assembly
  1. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, turning them in the sauce to coat evenly. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
  2. Turn off the heat and sprinkle over fresh parsley.
  3. Plate the Chicken Parmigiana and enjoy!
