Description
A delightful chicken dish infused with garlic, fresh herbs, and a creamy sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cups spinach or kale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Chop the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and measure out your herbs.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil and a pat of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down, cooking until golden brown (about 7-8 minutes).
- Add Aromatics: Flip the chicken, adding the garlic and mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add your herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it bubble gently, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Finish Cooking: Reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 10 additional minutes until cooked through. Add the spinach right before serving.
- Serve: With a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top, serve this dish over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside roasted vegetables.
Notes
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking to ensure juiciness.
