Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 pkg Beef Stroganoff Seasoning or Lemon Garlic Chicken Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 1⁄2 cups water
  • 1⁄4 cup half & half cream (10%)
  • 4 cups baby spinach

Preparation

  1. In a Sauté Pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to pan. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 min per side.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Add to pan once chicken has browned. Reduce heat; stir to coat, scraping up any bits from the pan.
  3. Cover; simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 min.
  4. Uncover and stir in cream. Add spinach, a handful at a time, stirring until wilted.
