Simply sauté chicken breasts in a little oil until golden brown and cooked through. I like to flatten mine a bit first into cutlets so they cook faster and more evenly. Just put them on a cutting board and give them a few whacks with a kitchen mallet. If the breasts are very thick, slice them in half horizontally before flattening.

Thyme pairs perfectly with the mushrooms and spinach. I've used fresh here, but dried would be excellent as well. Add the parmesan cheese and after it simmers for a minute or two, turn off the heat and stir in some baby spinach. You can add it whole or chop it a bit first.

    • ½ cup parmesan cheese (1.5oz, 43g)

    • Big handful of baby spinach leaves, whole or roughly chopped (about 4.4oz, 125g)
    • Red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste

    3. When oil is hot, put chicken breasts in pan and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan.
    4. Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan. Add onions and cook until softened.
    5. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown and onions begin to caramelize.
    6. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for about 1 minute.
    7. Deglaze pan with broth, scraping bottom to release any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan.
    8. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Add parmesan, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
    9. When cheese is melted turn off the heat and stir in baby spinach.
    10. Return chicken to pan and serve.

      A delicious looking dish, I know I would love it! The mushrooms looked so beautiful the other day when I went shopping, I was already thinking about some mushroom dish to cook one of these days. This would be a great idea!

      When do you add the garlic? I didn't see it in the instructions. Or, did I miss it?

        You didn't miss it, I did! The garlic is added after the mushrooms are golden brown. I've edited the instructions to correct that. Thanks, Susan!
