Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 pieces Chicken Thighs Boneless thighs ensure maximum moisture and tenderness.
1 teaspoon Salt Opt for fine sea salt.
1 teaspoon Pepper Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.

For the Cooking

1 tablespoon Avocado Oil Healthy choice for frying, can substitute with olive oil.
1 piece Shallot Adds sweetness; replace with yellow onion if preferred.
8 ounces Mushrooms Use cremini or button mushrooms.

For the Greens

5 ounces Spinach Fresh spinach recommended.
2 cloves Garlic Aromatic and flavorful.

For the Sauce

1/2 cup Non-Alcoholic White Wine Optional for a stricter keto option.
1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a rich sauce; coconut cream works as a dairy-free alternative.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the boneless chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if desired. Rub generously and set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked to 165°F.
Remove chicken and add chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until shallots are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
Add minced garlic and fresh spinach, stirring for about 2 minutes until the spinach wilts significantly.
Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan. Then add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and coat in sauce.
