Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and stir in the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the Company Pan Chicken warm, either family-style from the pan or plated individually. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
