Method of making
today i’m going to share with you how to make creamy chicken with mushrooms and spinach creamy chicken with mushrooms and spinach is amazingly delicious the chicken is lightly coated and smothered with a creamy sauce that’s slightly tangy with veggies included and i promise you guys are gonna love this chicken dinner so let’s get started here i have one and a half pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs that i’ve sliced horizontally and pounded evenly and i’m gonna season both sides well with salt and pepper what inspired me to make this dish is that i previously made a salmon with lemon cream sauce and i loved it so much that i decided to make it with chicken and added some veggies to it and if you
like this recipe and you love fish feel free to check that recipe out here i have a half cup of flour and i’m going to reserve one and a half tablespoons to thicken up our sauce later now i’m going to dredge each piece of chicken shaking off the excess at the end of this video if you’ve enjoyed this recipe and i’ve provided any type of value to you i would just request that you like and subscribe and that will definitely help to support me i have a pan that i’ve heated over medium high heat i’m going to add some extra virgin olive oil and i’m going to go ahead and sear the chicken and i’m going to continue to cook until they’re completely cooked through this will take about three to four minutes per side depending on the thickness what you want is this nice golden brown color when they’re completely cooked through i’m going to remove set them aside and wipe my pan clean

now i’m going to melt two tablespoons of butter and to that i’m going to add in a little bit of oil once the butter has melted i’m gonna add eight ounces of sliced mushrooms half a diced onion and four minced garlic cloves and i’m gonna season everything with some salt and pepper and i’m gonna continue to cook over medium heat until the veggies have softened this will take about five minutes today i’m using regular button mushrooms but you can also substitute it with cremini mushrooms if you prefer now that the veggies have cooked down i’m going to add in the reserved one and a half tablespoons of flour and i’m going to continue to cook until i no longer see white powder now that the flour has cooked down a bit i’m gonna slowly and gradually add in one cup of chicken broth that i mixed up with one cup
of half and half and i’m just adding this gradually because i want our sauce to be nice and smooth without any glimpse of flour in it after i have added all the liquid off-camera i added two tablespoons of lemon juice and i’m going to bring the sauce to a boil and let it simmer over low for about two minutes until it’s slightly thickened and we’ve got to make sure that we season it well with some salt and pepper this sauce is so delicious and you could serve it over some rice or mashed potatoes or some pasta now that the sauce is nice and thickened i’m going to add in three to four cups of baby spinach and we’re just going to cook this down until it’s wilted and this
