Decadent Chicken Breast

This dish of chicken breast, mushrooms, and spinach with cream is simply indulgent, combining all our favourite ingredients in one delicious meal. It’s 10 WW points, but every bite is absolutely worth it.

It’s super quick to prepare and even easier to enjoy.

While velveting the chicken isn’t necessary, I love how it makes the chicken silky and juicy, so I highly recommend it.

Variations: You can also use chicken pieces, which would only require 20 minutes of velveting, and I think that would be delicious.

OH MY is this good. Yes it’s higher in points (10) but worth every mouthful. We served it with mashed pumpkin and steamed greens. Super delicious and really filling.
