For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, you can transfer the spinach mixture to a baking dish before adding the chicken and cheese. To add a crispy element, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the Parmesan cheese before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients.
02
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
03
StepPlace a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and set on a cutting board. Pound with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken.
04
StepSprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle chicken generously with flour, shaking off excess.
05
StepHeat oil in an ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and brown 3 minutes per side (chicken may not be fully cooked). Transfer chicken from the skillet to a plate.
06
StepReduce heat to medium. Add onion to the skillet; cook and stir until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
07
StepAdd broth, cream, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, about 2 minutes.
08
StepAdd spinach, in batches, stirring until wilted, about 1 minute.
09
StepStir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and simmer until desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
10
StepReturn chicken to skillet. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
11
StepBake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant read thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of chicken, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
12
StepServe garnished with lemon slices.
