Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

8 oz (225g) cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup (240ml) chicken broth

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 cup (100g) baby spinach

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups cooked pasta (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the pieces of chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it, incorporating all those lovely browned bits for added flavor.

          Add the Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and oregano. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

            Combine and Finish: Return the chicken to the skillet and add the baby spinach. Stir everything together until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: If using pasta, you can combine it with the creamy chicken and mushrooms directly in the skillet or serve it on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
