Description
A quick and comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and fresh spinach in a rich, creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until onions are translucent and mushrooms have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, dried thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer, then return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
