Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken cutlets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 1 pound chicken with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add 3 cups mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 3 cups spinach, cover and cook, stirring once, until the mushrooms are tender, 2 more minutes. Whisk ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons vinegar, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder and the remaining ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper together in a measuring cup. Add to the pan along with any accumulated juices from the chicken; simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce.
