Savory Garlic Mushroom Chicken with Spinach Directions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat and add the chopped fresh spinach, cooking until wilted.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce is well combined.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the pieces.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
