Spinach Alfredo Chicken Breast : Creamy, Cheesy, and Low-Carb Comfort
This Spinach Alfredo Chicken Breast brings all the creamy, cheesy goodness of your favorite pasta dish—without the noodles. Juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts are smothered in a rich Alfredo-style sauce made with cream, garlic, Parmesan, and fresh spinach. It’s cozy, satisfying, and surprisingly simple to make in one skillet. Serve it with roasted veggies, mashed cauliflower, or spoon it straight from the pan (we won’t judge).
