Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear thighs skin side down 5-6 minutes until golden, flip and cook 5-6 minutes more until 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Lower heat to medium, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in cream and broth, scraping up brown bits. Bring to a simmer, stir in parmesan, and cook on low 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Add spinach in handfuls, stirring until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over, and warm 1 minute. Garnish with basil and serve.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half and keep the simmer low so the sauce does not curdle. The sauce will thicken a bit more off the heat, so pull it when it looks slightly loose.
