A delightful one-pan dish featuring succulent chicken thighs in a creamy sauce with vibrant spinach and tangy sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. chicken thighs (4 boneless skinless)
  • 1.5 tablespoons avocado oil
  • Kosher salt (to season chicken)
  • Cracked black pepper (to season chicken)
  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion (diced small)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth (or chicken broth)
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped, drained)
  • 2–3 ounces baby spinach
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or half and half)
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then season them with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the chicken thighs smooth side down.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes until the thighs easily release from the pan. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
  4. Remove the thighs from the pan and place them on a plate.
  5. In the same pan, add the butter, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  6. Add the cherry tomatoes and season with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Once the tomatoes begin to blister, deglaze the pan with the chicken bone broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom.
  7. Let the sauce reduce by ¼, then add the roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach. Sauté until the spinach begins to wilt.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
  9. Nestle the chicken thighs and any accumulated juices back into the pan. Simmer until the chicken is warmed through.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

For an added kick, toss in red pepper flakes when sautéing the onions and garlic. Fresh spinach is recommended for better texture.
