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

  1. Season the boneless chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!

This creamy spinach and mushroom chicken thighs recipe is not only easy to prepare but also packed with flavor. It’s a perfect dish for any occasion, and the combination of ingredients makes it a wholesome meal for you and your loved ones. Enjoy your culinary creation!
