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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any cooking, having all your ingredients and tools ready before you start will make the process much smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. If you don't have any homemade chicken broth on hand, look for a low-sodium store-bought brand.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a watery sauce.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned: This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Use a roux to thicken the sauce: A roux is a simple mixture of flour and butter that is used to thicken sauces. For this recipe, a light roux is perfect.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce has thickened, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes: Creamed chicken and mushrooms is a versatile dish that can be served over a variety of sides. Choose your favorite and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Creamed chicken and mushrooms is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try!
