Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons salt for chicken
- 1 teaspoon pepper for chicken
- 1 tablespoon oil
For the Sauce:
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Chicken:
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and allow them to cook for about 13 minutes until the skin becomes crispy. Remember to turn the chicken occasionally for even cooking.
- After 13 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 15 minutes, or until completely done. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet.
Preparing the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until the onions are translucent.
- Next, stir in diced tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach has wilted.
- Pour in the heavy cream, adding salt and pepper; allow it to reach a gentle boil.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve the dish warm and enjoy your delicious dinner!
