Ingredients
- 6 boneless chicken thighs
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the boneless chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through and absorbs the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
