Description

This recipe features tender chicken and earthy mushrooms enveloped in a vibrant, velvety Emerald Spinach Cream sauce. It’s an easy, healthy, and comforting family-friendly dinner perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter touch)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Sear Chicken: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken; sear until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Sauté sliced mushrooms, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Build Spinach Cream Sauce: Sauté onion until softened (3 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and chopped thyme (1 minute, aromatic). Add spinach until wilted and bright green (2-3 minutes). Pour in broth and heavy cream, stir in Parmesan cheese. Simmer gently, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats a spoon (3-5 minutes), becoming vibrant and creamy.
  4. Combine And Simmer: Return chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat. Simmer gently 5-7 minutes. Flavors will meld and chicken will finish cooking, becoming tender.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt. If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered an extra 2-3 minutes; if too thick, stir in a splash of warm broth or milk. Consider adding sun-dried tomatoes for extra zest.
