STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Season chicken with half the salt and pepper. Heat oil in a wide skillet and brown the strips in batches for 3–4 minutes per side; transfer to a bowl.
Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6 minutes. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds, then pour in the measured water and scrape the base.
Return the chicken with its juices. Add cream and remaining salt, then simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Fold in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in Parmesan.
Divide the chicken, vegetables and all sauce into 4 servings. Serve in shallow bowls.

Kitchen notes

Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer after adding cream.
