Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 slices of prosciutto
– 1 cup green or brown lentils
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Creating One-Pan Prosciutto Chicken with Creamy Spinach Lentils is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
2. Wrap the Chicken: Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the meat is covered.
3. Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Brown the Chicken: Place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Add Lentils: Pour in the lentils and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil.
7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
8. Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce is heated through.
9. Check Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll create a delightful one-pan meal that is both satisfying and full of flavor.
