Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chopped onion
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
2 pounds frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
3 tablespoons ghee, plus more for greasing
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 (5.2 ounce) package garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin®), softened
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup crushed pork rinds

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble once cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon drippings.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat reserved bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onions and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and onions are translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Place vegetables into a large mixing bowl and mix in well-dried spinach. Set aside.
  • Wipe the skillet clean. Add ghee and melt over medium heat. Once skillet is hot, add chicken thighs and lightly brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side; the chicken will still be pink in the middle. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Combine chicken broth, cream, softened garlic and herb cheese spread , and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl; whisk until well combined. Pour broth mixture over vegetable mixture in the mixing bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add vegetable mixture to skillet and place browned chicken thighs on top. Top with crumbled bacon, sliced almonds, ground pork rinds, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone, juices run clear, and spinach mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest about 10 minutes before serving.

BAKED CREAMED SPINACH



Baked Creamed Spinach image

I found this originally as a Passover spinach dish, but I liked it so much that I eat it year-round. If using it for Passover, substitute matzo meal for the bread crumbs.

Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Spinach     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch spinach (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter two 1/3- to 1/2-cup ramekins.
  • Discard coarse stems from spinach. In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water cook spinach 2 minutes and drain in a sieve, pressing with back of a large spoon to remove as much water as possible. Finely chop spinach.
  • In a small nonstick skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in spinach, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until hot.
  • Divide creamed spinach between ramekins and break an egg into each. On a baking sheet bake eggs in upper third of oven until whites are cooked through, or until desired doneness, about 12 minutes. (The yolks will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area.)
  • Season eggs with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just be sure to add a little bit of butter or oil to help thicken the sauce.
  • You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as mushrooms, onions, or zucchini. Just be sure to cook them before adding them to the spinach.
  • If you want a cheesy spinach casserole, you can add some shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
  • Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked creamed spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
