Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen whole spinach leaves, thawed and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup 1 % milk
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a glass or ceramic baking dish. Layer with half of the potatoes and spinach. Set aside.
- Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Sear chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned (chicken will not be cooked through). Transfer chicken to baking dish, on top of potatoes. Layer chicken with remaining potatoes and spinach.
- In same skillet, heat remaining 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add flour and (using a wooden spoon) combine with olive oil to make a roux. Allow roux to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbly. Stirring constantly, add chicken broth and bring to a low boil over medium-heat. Once thickened, reduce heat to low. Add milk and Parmesan cheese, stirring till well-combined and cheese is melted.
- Pour cheese-sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes; remove from oven and toss ingredients to evenly coat with sauce. Return to oven for 10-15 more minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
