- When oil is hot, put chicken breasts in pan and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan.
- Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to pan. Add onions and cook until softened.
- Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown and onions begin to caramelize.
- Add the garlic, stir, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Deglaze pan with broth, scraping bottom to release any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add cream and bring to a simmer. Add parmesan, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- When cheese is melted turn off the heat and stir in baby spinach.
- Return chicken to pan and serve.
