Chicken Alfredo Florrentine

1 small onion, minced fine
4 uncooked, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 Tbsp. oil
5 Tbsp. butter
4 Tbsp. flour
1 can chicken broth
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 8 oz. low fat cream cheese
1 1/2 c. grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 teas. white pepper
1/4 teas. salt, if desired
1/4-1/2 teas. garlic powder (or 1 clove garlic, minced)
5 oz. spinach (fresh or frozen)

In large skillet saute onions in oil until translucent, (If using a fresh clove of garlic, sauté with onion at this time). Add uncooked , diced chicken and cook until no longer pink. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, abt. 10-20 min.
Uncover and melt butter in meat mixture, add flour and spices and blend for 1 minute, stirring continually. Add broth, cream cheese and whipping cream, stir until creamy. Might need to add a bit of skim milk to get to desired consistency. Stir in parmesan cheese and stir until smooth.
Last few minutes and spinach and cook just until wilted.
Serve over favorite pasta and enjoy!
