Description
A simple skillet meal featuring chicken, mushrooms, and spinach in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and thyme to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth reduce slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
