Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add olive oil if necessary, then add sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Simmer on low heat for another 2-3 minutes.
