Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. 2Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, butterfly horizontally (do not cut all the way through). Season with salt and pepper, add two slices of mozzarella, and fold each chicken breast closed.
3. 3In an ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast the chicken for 18-20 minutes.
4. 4While the chicken is roasting, in a medium saucepan melt the butter on medium, then cook garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add flour, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
5. 5While whisking gradually add chicken broth, and whisk until smooth. Add in heavy cream and continue to whisk until thickened and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
6. 6Stir in parmesan and add the spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.
7. 7Remove the chicken from the oven and add to the saucepan simmering them together for 2 minutes.
