Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boneless and skinless chicken thighs

Salt

Ground black pepper

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon Japanese mirin, (optional)

Salt to taste

2 small tomatoes, cut into wedges

2 cups spinach

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and ground black pepper, on both sides.

Heat up a skillet with 1 tablespoon butter.

Pan-sear the chicken thighs until both sides are nicely browned, with crispy edges. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Add the remaining butter and saute the garlic until aromatic.

Add the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream and bring it to a light simmer.

Add the chicken back into the skillet, follow by the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, mirin (if using), and salt.

Add the tomatoes, spinach and parsley.

As soon as the spinach wilts, turn off heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve the chicken with plain spaghetti, penne or rotini. Just ladle the chicken and sauce over the pasta.
