Cooking

  • Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook them for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove them and add them to the plate with the chicken thighs.
  • In the same frying pan, add the butter. When it melts, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and cook for another minute. Then, gradually pour in the chicken stock and cream, stirring continuously.
  • Continue cooking for 2 minutes, then add the grated parmesan and stir until well combined.
  • Return the chicken and mushrooms to the pan. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the baby spinach to the pan and cover again. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts. Stir everything together to mix.

Notes

Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary during cooking. This dish can easily be modified with other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
