\nIngredients
\nChicken
\n4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
\n1 tsp paprika
\n1 tsp Italian seasoning
\n\u00bd tsp garlic powder
\nSalt & black pepper
\n2 tbsp olive oil
\nVegetables
\n1 lb baby potatoes, halved
\n8 oz mushrooms, sliced
\n3 cups fresh spinach
\n1 small onion, sliced
\n3 cloves garlic, minced
\nCreamy sauce
\n1 cup heavy cream
\n\u00bd cup chicken broth
\n\u00bd cup grated Parmesan
\n1 tbsp butter
\n\u00bd tsp Italian seasoning
\nSalt & pepper to taste
\nOptional: \u00bc tsp red pepper flakes
\nInstructions
\nSeason the chicken: Pat dry and season both sides with paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
\nBrown the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4\u20135 minutes per side, until golden. Remove and set aside. It doesn\u2019t need to be fully cooked yet.
\nCook the potatoes: Add the potatoes to the same skillet, cut-side down. Cook for 6\u20138 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown. Remove temporarily if needed.
\nSaut\u00e9 vegetables: Add butter, onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5\u20136 minutes until softened and browned. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
\nMake it creamy: Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
\nSmother the chicken: Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10\u201315 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) internally.
\nAdd spinach: Stir in the spinach during the last 2\u20133 minutes, allowing it to wilt into the sauce.
\nFinish: Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
\nBest served with: garlic bread or a simple green salad to soak up that creamy Parmesan sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
