garlic chicken with creamy sauce & spinach
(1 rating)
My kids eat this pretty well, and I had a friend over for dinner who just loved it! It's definitely a favorite meal for when I have company! The time is a rough estimate, I am a slow cook in a nearly microscopic kitchen with limited resources, so everything takes me longer. ;)

How To Make garlic chicken with creamy sauce & spinach
-
1Preheat oven to 350. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture and coat well.
-
2In a large skillet, heat 3 Tablespoons oil until hot. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the oil until each side is golden brown. Avoid cooking all the way through!!

3On a cookie sheet, line with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts on the cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.

4While the chicken is cooking, in a large pot cook the fettucine noodles according to package directions. Add the remaining 2 T olive oil to the skillet (after cleaning it) and cook the chopped red pepper and garlic for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp of flour and stir constantly for one minute.
