- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir until well combined and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Feel free to swap the spinach for your favorite greens or add in other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if needed.
