  • Creamy Garlic Spinach Chicken Thighs

    Creamy Garlic Spinach Chicken Thighs

    Untested recipe: quantities, servings and timings are suggested adaptations of the original meal idea and have not been kitchen-tested. Use the doneness checks below and adjust as needed.

    Servings: 4 | Suggested prep time: 10 minutes | Estimated cooking time: 30 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 3/4 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 3 cups washed baby spinach
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
    • Pinch of black pepper

    Instructions

    1. Pat chicken dry and season with garlic powder, pepper and optional salt.
    2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side; it need not be cooked through yet.
    3. Add broth and cream carefully. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook 10–15 minutes more, until every thigh reaches 165°F.
    4. Stir spinach into the sauce and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted. Serve chicken with the sauce.

    Low-energy prep tip

    Use washed baby spinach and boneless thighs to reduce preparation.

    Recipe notes

    Do not stop after searing. Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for a dairy-free variation.
