If you’re looking for ideas to make a romantic dinner for two, I have the most awesome recipes that are guaranteed to impress your date! With your loved one and one of these perfect romantic dishes, you can make dinner at home a special experience!

Author | Angela

Servings: 8 servings Calories: 319kcal Prep 5 minutes Cooking 20 minutes Total Time 25 minutes

Pin Recipe Share on Facebook Ingredients US CustomaryMetric1x2x3x▢ 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)▢ ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper (to taste)▢ 2 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)▢ 8 oz mushrooms (cleaned and sliced, white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms)Creamy Parmesan Garlic Sauce▢ ¼ cup butter (½ stick or 4 tablespoons)▢ 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)▢ 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour▢ ½ cup chicken broth▢ 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream, or milk, or half & half)▢ ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder▢ ½ teaspoon onion powder▢ ½ teaspoon salt▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper▢ 1 cup baby spinach (washed and chopped)

InstructionsPat your chicken breasts dry and trim any excess fat if needed. Season both sides of the chicken.1 ½ lbs chicken breasts, ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepperHeat a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Pan fry the seasoned chicken breasts to brown both sides until cooked and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F (64°C). Remove the chicken from your skillet when done and transfer to a plate. Set aside.2 tablespoon olive oilAdd the sliced mushrooms and saute until browned and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.8 oz mushroomsCreamy Parmesan Garlic SauceReduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in your skillet. Add the minced garlic and saute until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix into the melted butter and garlic, stir frequently and cook the paste for about 2-3 minutes.¼ cup butter, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flourSlowly whisk in portions of the chicken broth and heavy cream until the sauce is smooth, then stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.½ cup chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepperAdd the chopped baby spinach and stir into the sauce, then allow the sauce to come to a simmer. Once the sauce thickens and the spinach is wilted, return the chicken breasts and sauteed mushrooms back to your skillet. 1 cup baby spinachStir to combine and heat to your satisfaction. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or potatoes. Notes When cleaning mushrooms, it’s best to wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.  Mushrooms are like little sponges, so if you run them under water they’ll absorb the water and be harder to brown! After adding the flour to the butter, keep an eye on the roux! You don’t want it or the garlic to burn – you just want to cook for a couple of minutes to get the raw flour taste out.   If the sauce thickens too much, you can add up to another cup to the sauce!

After adding the flour to the butter, keep an eye on the roux! You don’t want it or the garlic to burn – you just want to cook for a couple of minutes to get the raw flour taste out.   If the sauce thickens too much, you can add up to another cup to the sauce!

InstructionsPat your chicken breasts dry and trim any excess fat if needed. Season both sides of the chicken.1 ½ lbs chicken breasts, ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepperHeat a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Pan fry the seasoned chicken breasts to brown both sides until cooked and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F (64°C). Remove the chicken from your skillet when done and transfer to a plate. Set aside.2 tablespoon olive oilAdd the sliced mushrooms and saute until browned and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.8 oz mushroomsCreamy Parmesan Garlic SauceReduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in your skillet. Add the minced garlic and saute until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix into the melted butter and garlic, stir frequently and cook the paste for about 2-3 minutes.¼ cup butter, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flourSlowly whisk in portions of the chicken broth and heavy cream until the sauce is smooth, then stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.½ cup chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepperAdd the chopped baby spinach and stir into the sauce, then allow the sauce to come to a simmer. Once the sauce thickens and the spinach is wilted, return the chicken breasts and sauteed mushrooms back to your skillet. 1 cup baby spinachStir to combine and heat to your satisfaction. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or potatoes.

Notes When cleaning mushrooms, it’s best to wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.  Mushrooms are like little sponges, so if you run them under water they’ll absorb the water and be harder to brown! After adding the flour to the butter, keep an eye on the roux! You don’t want it or the garlic to burn – you just want to cook for a couple of minutes to get the raw flour taste out.   If the sauce thickens too much, you can add up to another cup to the sauce!
