\n- \n
Gently pound the thicker end of the breast to 1\/2-inch thickness so the chicken cooks evenly. Season chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and black pepper, to taste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off any excess.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside and wipe the skillet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1\/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced shallot and garlic and saut\u00e9 for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Add the bell pepper and spinach, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cover, cook until the spinach wilts down stirring 2 to 3 times, about 4 to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Reduce the heat to low, and then add the cream cheese, chicken broth, half-and- half, 1\/4 teaspoon salt and parmesan cheese and mix well until cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Return the chicken and any of its juices to the skillet with the spinach and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
