Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season chicken thighs with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set aside. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, stir in spinach, and simmer until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately.

BEST DARN CHICKEN TENDERS
Member's Choice! This is great homemade chicken tender recipe to serve at your next party. They would also be great if you have a group of teenagers in the house. These are pretty easy to make and we loved cooking them in a wok. The result was a crispy coating with juicy chicken. Dipped in the honey mustard, these are so good....

Steps:
- 1. Prepare chicken. Slice into even pieces, as similar in size as you can get.
- 2. Liberally season one side with garlic, onion, and Creole seasoning. Toss together.
- 3. Get out two bowls. In one add 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk together. In the second bowl, add eggs, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon oil. Whisk until smooth.
- 4. Heat enough oil in a deep pan or deep fryer (I use my wok) to cover chicken once placed in oil. Or, you can flip them as they cook, if you don't have enough oil to cover. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- 5. When the oil is hot enough, dredge chicken in the egg mixture.
- 6. Then coat with flour mixture.
- 7. Drop into hot grease. They will float when done (about 8 - 10 minutes ). I always cook until golden.
- 8. Add only 8 - 10 pieces at a time, depending on how big your pan is. You don't want to overcrowd or will cool down your grease too quickly, leaving you with greasy chicken. You may want to adjust heat as you go if it gets to be too hot, but you want it hot enough to crisp the chicken.
- 9. As each batch is cooked, drain on paper towels. While hot, I sprinkle with salt or Creole seasoning.
- 10. Serve with my delicious honey mustard. To make the honey mustard, combine all ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until blended and chill until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Brining the chicken overnight: This step is essential for juicy and flavorful chicken. Make sure to use a large container to fully submerge the chicken in the brine.
- Using a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give you a crispy and evenly browned chicken. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
- Cooking the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to brown the chicken quickly and evenly. Be sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent the chicken from burning.
- Basting the chicken with the melted butter: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can also add herbs or spices to the melted butter for extra flavor.
- Letting the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
This recipe is a simple but delicious way to cook chicken. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and has a crispy, golden-brown skin. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
