Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs of choice, I use a mix of oregano and basil, or I use 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup white wine or chicken broth
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt, to taste
- 6 ounces fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Using paper towels, pat dry the chicken thighs.
- In a small bowl, combine dried herbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken thighs.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
- Add chicken to the heated oil; cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. Use an Instant Read Thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken is done when internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the pan and set aside.
- Set the pan back over medium heat and stir in the sliced shallots; cook for a minute or until tender.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 15 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth or wine; whisk in the sour cream and bring the mixture to a boil. Make sure to whisk continuously so that the sour cream doesn’t curdle.
- Whisk in the heavy cream and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in butter; stir until it melts. Continue to cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Add in the spinach and cook for a minute or until the spinach is wilted. At this point, if the sauce is too thick, add a little liquid (chicken broth or wine) at a time or until you reach the desired consistency.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and cook for 1 minute, just to heat through.
- Remove from the heat and serve.
