Keto Creamy Asiago Chicken with Spinach

Tender golden chicken simmered in a rich asiago cream sauce with fresh spinach and garlic, all made in one skillet for a comforting low carb dinner.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated asiago cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
  6. Reduce heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Add grated asiago cheese gradually while stirring until smooth and creamy.
  8. Stir in spinach and red pepper flakes. Cook until spinach wilts.
  9. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top.
  10. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Freshly grated asiago melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Keep the sauce over medium low heat to prevent separating.
  • Add a splash of broth when reheating leftovers if the sauce thickens too much.
  • Serve with cauliflower mash or roasted vegetables for a complete keto meal.
