Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  5. Step 5: Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to maintain creaminess.
  • Serve this hearty skillet over your favorite pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • For extra depth of flavor, sauté the mushrooms and onions with a tablespoon of butter before adding the garlic and thyme.
