For the sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup low-fat milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz fresh baby spinach
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
2 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with the 1/2 tsp salt.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
