1
Combine flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper on a large plate.
2
Cover both sides of each chicken breast with the flour mixture.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.

Sear the chicken in the skillet until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Then, remove the chicken and set it aside.
5
Reduce to medium heat and add butter to the skillet.
6
Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
7
Add spinach and cook until wilted, which will take around 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Season with a little extra salt and pepper if you'd like.
9
Stir all the ingredients together.
10
Add lemon slices and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, typically 3 to 4 minutes.
11
Add the seared chicken back into the skillet and simmer until fully cooked, another 5 to 6 minutes.
12
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle basil over the chicken prior to serving.
