Savory Chicken with Mushroom, Spinach, and Mustard Cream Sauce

by

Directions

  1. Season the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the mushrooms are softened.

  4. Build the Sauce: Stir in the vegetable broth, coconut cream, Dijon mustard, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Add the Greens: Add the fresh kale or spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted.

  6. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 2 to 3 minutes to combine the flavors.

  7. Garnish and Serve: Optional: For a crispy garnish, sprinkle prosciutto pieces on top of the chicken before serving.

Serve the chicken warm with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
