Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Zucchini, chopped
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook until the liquid reduces by half.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and allow them to heat through for an additional 3-4 minutes, coating them with the creamy sauce.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Creamy Chicken with Vegetables!
