Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 8-ounce container sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup half-and-half
One 10-ounce package of baby spinach (about 8 cups)
Warm egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie plate or shallow dish. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts in the flour. Shake off any excess and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until the other side is deeply golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Then pour in the half-and-half. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover and cook, turning about halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter filled with warm egg noodles. Add the spinach to the skillet, cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Pour the creamy spinach sauce over the chicken and noodles.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your Creamy Chicken and Spinach Potato Skillet the best flavor. If you can, use organic chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken and potatoes will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Season the chicken and potatoes well: Season the chicken and potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor.
  • Cook the chicken and potatoes until they are cooked through: The chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes should be tender. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir in the spinach and cream: Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked through, stir in the spinach and cream. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Creamy Chicken and Spinach Potato Skillet is best served immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
