Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
